Showdown At Jericho Hill Lyrics

Meet me there tonight on top of Jericho Hill

If we don't make our stand right now I fear we never will

I got nothin' left to say

I got blood left to spill

On Jericho Hill

We'll release the horses, they got no part in this

We'll clean our six guns well, tie our holsters to our hips

I'll pull my hat brim low

You'll shove a smoke between your lips

And then we'll take the higher ground

Plan an ambush from it

Darlin' here we go

I got one in my sights

Won't you cover me while I reload?

We might not see another sunrise

But I'm proud to stand with you if this is our last fight

Now I'm winged in the left shoulder

And it hurts like bloody hell

I've done for half a dozen of 'em

But I'm runnin' out of shells

Sheriff hollers 'give it up young man!'

But we both know damn well

That I'd take the final bullet

Before he'd see me in a cell

And they got a length of rope for me

Yeah they wanna see me hung

For a crime I swear to you that I never done

What's more I think he knows

His deputy's the guilty one

They had to frame me up

So I had to cut and run

Darlin' here we go

I got one in my sights

Won't you cover me while I reload?

We might not see another sunrise

But I'm proud to stand with you if this is our last fight

They told me "come on outta there – hold your hands way up high!"

And as you might expect, I hollered down

"You'll never take me back alive!"

I hauled leather, my six gun it hammered at the sky

The sheriff fell down dead

I hit him square between the eyes

Darlin' here we go

I got one in my sights

Won't you cover me while I reload?

We might not see another sunrise

But I'm proud to stand with you if this is our last fight
