[Intro] I’m riding hard with vengeance burning in my veins Left me with a blood debt I swear to set right Set it right [palm-muted guitar with light swing shuffle] Rode through the endless badlands where the dust looked the same Now I’m hunting Wiley, that’s the name That’s his name [Chorus] He’ll cry mercy, when I’m kicking down the door When I face him and he’s frightened to the core He’ll cry mercy, when I’m weaving through the night When I find him and he knows I’m take’n his life He about to go down, down, down (whoa-oh-oh) down, down, down [Verse 2] I rode into Blackwater, last town he was seen Asking shopkeepers, bartenders, painted ladies keen Hardened cowboys and the wide-eyed kids on the street “Have you seen Wiley Malone?” Seen Wiley Malone? He shot my dog down [short melodic guitar lick with swing] He shot my dog down, [Chorus] He’ll cry mercy, when I’m kicking down the door When I face him and he’s frightened to the core He’ll cry mercy, this evening all through the night When I find him and he believes he’s losing his life It’s his last night It’s his last night alive, alive, alive (Whoa-oh-oh, alive, alive, alive) [Bridge] I’m riding hard with vengeance burning in my veins Left me with a blood debt I swear to set right Set it right Rode through the endless badlands where the dust looked the same Now I’m hunting Wiley, You know the name You know the name [Bridge] He shot my dog, I’m gonna kill this man He shot my dog, I’m gonna kill this man I said he shot my dog, I’m gonna kill this man I said he shot my dog, I’m gonna kill this man [Chorus] He’ll cry mercy, when I’m kicking down the door He’ll cry mercy, when I’m kicking him on the floor He’ll cry mercy, this evening all through the night When I find him and best believe he’s losing his life It’s his last night It’s his last night alive, alive, alive (Whoa-oh-oh, alive, alive, alive) He’s about to go down He’s about to go down Go down Go down go down He’s about to go down, down, down (Whoa-oh-oh, down, down, down) [Outro] He’ll cry mercy, when I’m coming through the door When I find him and he’s curled up on the floor He’ll cry mercy… (repeating & fading with ad-libs) That man is going down Malone is going down That man is going down Man is going down He’s about to go down He’s about to go down He’s about to go down He’s about to go down, go down, go down Whoa-oh-oh, down, down, down It’s his last day alive, alive, alive He’s about to go down, go down It’s his last day alive, alive, alive He’s about to go down It’s his last day alive, alive, alive
