Willie man come on 6 o'clock noon says somebody's been shot,
somebody's been abused
somebody blew up a building
somebody stole a car
somebody got away
somebody didn't get too far (yeah)
they didn't get too far

Grandpapy told my Papy
back in my day son a man had to answer
for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall Oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
Hang'm high in the street
For all the people to see

(Chorus)

Cause justice is the one thing
you should always find
you got to sattle up your boys
you gotta draw a hard line
when the gun smoke settles
we'll sing a victory tune
and we'll all meet back at the local salloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We've got too many gangsters
doin dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
send them all to their maker and he'll settle'm down
You can bet he'll settle'm down

(chorus)

whisky for my men, beer for my horses

(chorus)

singin whisky for my men, beer for my horses
