Sheriff Coaltrain was riding home one day.
Sheriff Coaltrain was riding home one hot and dusty day.
He never really saw it coming.
He never did and that's the fact.
Ol' Sheriff Coaltrain took ...
a bullet in his back
He had a heavy burden that he carried (slight pause)
He had a heavy burden that he carried.
And a rifle at his side.
Cause he was the only law
that anyone can recall
women and men cried the day he died
And that lonesome road that he travelled
Was a long and righteous path
til some drunkin' thieven men
cowards to the end
put a bullet in sheriff coaltrains back
(Some sort of pickin' break w/dobro slide)
(bridge)
and that long black veil hung mighty low
and he breathed his last breath
just before his son showed
after he put
his pa to rest
he made a vow
and pinned that badge on his chest
One by one they was riding home
One by one them ol' sons a bitches was riding home alone
They never really saw it coming.
They never even turned around
the new Sheriff Coaltrain put'em in the ground
Lord Lord
The new Sheriff Coaltrain put'em in the ground.
