calvin russell – sam brown lyrics
op sam brown was a lonesome convict
he come from a red river town
there ain’t no two ways about it
it was texas law that shot sam down
ol’ sam brown told me his story
it seems a bad check writer was he
seven times down and seven times sorry
he had to spend his life under lock and key
i guess that some will say
he was worthless
and that he got only what was fair
but i’m here to say right now
ol’ sam brown was just a little person
who caught up in this lifes
great pull and tear
ol’ sam brown, he liked them outlaws
billie the kid, frank and jessie james
and i guess he read a thousand stories
of the days when they roamed the plains
tell me why didn’t someone
help him
to belive in himself
some, too
h-ll no, they’d rather give a man
about a hundred years
just to prove they can be
tougher than you
ol’ sam brown died on a sunday morning
layin’ right there in that cement cell
whith ragged convicts to mourn his p-ssin’
and no loved ones to bid farewell
they used to tell him
sam – straighten up
and fly right
they used to tell him
sam – don’t you stay out
late at at night
and why …
can’t you be like i am, sam
will you ever see the light?
