Sometimes I start talking to myselfnIn the midst of an honest day’s worknI put my chin on my arm and saynWhy are you such a foolnWhat would Pecos do how would he get out of thisnTie up everybody and ask questions laternDrink up all the waternWhat was lake now is craternThe brothers will always saynHe’s just like king David he kills by the thousandsnHe’ll fool someone to bury themselves in a mountainnThe brothers cry all nightnWhoa mannAnd the criminals fool themselves in a fightnBecause they are going to losenThey don’t understand what’s about to happennThat someone’s at the point of deathnWhat would Pecos do how would he get out of thisnAnd sometimes I think to myselfnI’m not going to do it nobody ever couldnSometimes I look to the moonnAnd see my woman up there she’s running out of airnSometimes I think to myselfnIf Pecos Bill did it I cannThe brothers cry all nightnWhoa man
