jp harris – otto wood lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
step up buddies, and listen to my song
sing it to you right but you might think it wrong
it’s all about a man they called otto wood, wouldn’t tell you more but i wish i could

[verse 2]
stepped in a p+wn shop a rainy day, and with the clerk he had a quarrel they say
he pulled out his pistol and struck him a blow and this is the way that the story goes

[verse 3]
folks spread the news as fast as they could, the sheriff served a warrant on otto wood
jury said murder in the second degree and the judge passed a sentence to the penitentiary

[chorus]
otto, why didn’t you run? otto’s done dead and gone
otto wood why didn’t you run, when the sheriff pulled out that forty+four gun?

[verse 4]
first time they caught him was way out west, in a holdup game he got shot through the breast
they brought him back and when he got well, they locked him down in a dungeon cell

[verse 5]
put him in the pen, but it done no good, it wouldn’t hold a man they called otto wood
well it wasn’t very long before he snuck outside, pulled a gun on the guard and said “take me for a ride”

[verse 6]
otto was a man they could not run, and he always carried a forty+four gun
he loved the women, lord he hated the law, and he just wouldn’t take n0body’s jaw
[chorus]
otto, why didn’t you run? otto’s done dead and gone
otto wood why didn’t you run, when the sheriff pulled out that forty+four gun?

[verse 7]
he rambled out west and rambled all around, ’til he met two sheriffs in a southern town
sheriffs said “otto, step to the way, we been waiting on you every day”

[verse 8]
he pulled out his gun and then he said, “you make a crooked move and you’ll both fall dead
won’t you crank up your car and take me out of town” and a few minutes later he was graveyard bound
