Lyrics

Em
The night was black and you was blue
If you ever came across Cowboy Sam Magoo
He had a gun in every hand and a knife in his shoe
And he never had a reason for doing what he'd do

Break

Many a time when riding through the night
Someone would face this deadly sight:
"He's six foot three and uglier than sin,
I don't mean no trouble." But the bullet was already in

Break

So it's really quite clear Cowboy Sam's no joke,
Going around killing all these decent folk
But there's something about Sam I haven't told you:
His undying love for sweet Mary Sue

Break

C Am
And how he cries like a baby
Fmaj7 C
Every time he's in her arms
And how he cries like a baby
Cause he misses his mother and farm
And how he cries like a baby
Every time he kills a man
And how he cries like a baby
Cause the world just don't understand
