All the people saw that he was, smiling - that is not what he's supposed to - do
They called Sarah down to try and make him stop it - 'cause she'd never seen the preening of a grin
And she said, if he could only, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
When her family came to look him over - they could see he posed a threat
So they sent him to the end of sundown - to a place where Sarah dared not go
And she said, if he could only, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
Smile, smile, smile, smile
