Mary Jane she left in tears Ran behind the water tower By and by the time it came This was Milo's final hour [Break] Folks they gathered at the gates Women and children too Some they cackled at the sight But everybody knew [Break] The hangman wore his mask so proud As they led Milo to his fate Arms tied tight behind his back As he stepped upon the plate [Chorus] There's only so much whiskey you can down There's only so many tough guys you can fight But when you settle in this godforsaken town You better get your morals right [Chorus][Rousing] There's only so much whiskey you can down There's only so many tough guys you can fight There's only so many hustlers you can scam Before God sees you pay the price [Break] Oh the preacher hung his head As the gallows creaked in shame The women and children fled As the undertakers came [Break] A cold wind cut right through As men crossed themselves in prayer But every man must pay his due God's lesson learned, I swear [Break] [Chorus][Rousing] There's only so much whiskey you can down There's only so many tough guys you can fight There's only so many hustlers you can scam Before God sees you pay the price [Break] [Chorus][Quiet] There's only so much whiskey you can down There's only so many tough guys you can fight There's only so many hustlers you can scam Before God sees you pay the price [Outro] [Chorus][Quiet] There's only so much whiskey you can down There's only so many tough guys you can fight There's only so many hustlers you can scam Before God sees you pay the price [Outro]
