Shotgun shack - The McArthur Band

[Intro] [Verse 1] I was born in a shotgun shack Pa died when i was three So my ma took to whoring just to keep us alive And asked the Lord just to set her free [Chorus] Well my ma slipped away to the other side Now I'm the head of the family So I got a job in a railroad yard But that ain't no job for me [Verse 2] So I robbed a train on the Santa Fe line And to the bad lands I did run Well now there's a price upon my head Into the outlaw I've become [extended electric slide guitar solo with bluesy bends and vibrato] [Verse 3] Well now there's a price upon my head A thousand dollars dead or alive There's only one choice for me So to Mexico I must ride [Verse 4] Well I joined Pancho Villa helped to fight his war Set the Mexican men free But all I thought was of all that gold And the gold that belongs to me [Verse 5] Now I got caught trying to steal that gold A firing squad lined up for me Well the devil take you for what you want Bullet will set me free [Fade out - guitar solos] I was born in a shotgun shack
