Lyrics
Come hither my son my mom would say
And I know you I've raised you tough
I know there's gonna be a day
Someones gonna try and rough you up
My dearest son
You've gotta fight to say you've won
My dearest son
You've gotta fight to say you've won
She was right there came a time
Some dumb ol' boy tried to steal my gun
I waited till the sun was high
Now people think I'm on the run
My dearest son
You've gotta fight to say you've won
My dearest son
You've gotta fight to say you've won
They ran me down to the Martin County line
They gunned me down in the middle of town
The state came up and paid a bounty
To a Texas man now high and mighty
My dearest son
You gotta pay for what you've done
My dearest son
You gotta pay for what you've done
My momma used to tell me son
One day you're gonna die from the bullet of a gun
