Intro:

They were Doolin, Doolinalton
High or low, it was the same
asy money, and faithless women
Red eye whiskey for the pain.
[ doolin_dalton ]
o down little Dalton, it must be God’s will
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville.
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
”Lay down your lawbooks now, they’re no damn good.”

Better keep on movin, Doolinalton
Till your shadow sets you free
And if you’re fast, and if you’re lucky,
You will never see that hangin tree

Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
nd a man could use his back or use his brains
ut some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed

Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
Be was workin cheap, just buyin time
And then he laughed and said I’m goin
And so he left that peaceful life behind

Outro: G D/F# Em G C C/B Am7 D9 E

***
from DOOLINALTON/DESPERADO(REPRISE):

Well the stage was set, the sun was sinkin lowdown
As they came to town to face another showdown
The lawmen cleared the people from the street
All you bloodthirsty bystanders, will you try to find a seat?

Watchin Doolin, Doolinalton
Bigh or low, it’s all the same
Easy money, faithless women
You will never kill the pain

Go down little doolin, don’t you wonder why
Sooner or later we all have to die
Sooner or later, that’s a stone cold fact
Four men ride out and only three ride back
