Creek - Will Lyrics

Willy hailed from a valley up the Mississippi
He was bound for the town where he played his game
Made a life from betting on fights
He held the prize; it came at a price
Put a cap in a thief to defend his claim
Brandished a blade
Left with his brain beside his head
Willy knew that the sheriff was out to get him
So, he paid him a visit to clear his name
Sheriff lead him straight out the door
Said nothing more; his words were the law
'Put a cap in a thief to defend your claim
Brandished a blade
Left with his brain beside his head'
Willy travelled back late that day
To crooked looking trees which once stood straight
Ducked down flat as rifles fired
He had no other choice, the sheriff lied
Draw!
Willy gunned down the sheriff's men
Their blood ran thick, his options thin
Scraped the numbers from his guns and made new plans
To lay low west in native lands
