[Verse 1] Dm I went out one mornin' for to take a little walk F Dm I came across that Wild Bill Jones Dm He was a walkin' and a talkin' by my true lover's side F Dm And I begged him for to leave her alone [Verse 2] F He said "Young man, now i'm passed twenty one Dm Too old for you to control" Dm He reached for his knife, so I pulled my gun Dm And I destroyed that poor boy's soul [Break 1]
