There goes the sheriff with his crooked star

This is the new Roman Empire

He's the new Caesar

He sinks his spurs into the arse of America

And he'll ride, and he'll ride



Let the meek inherit the earth

Let the meek inherit the earth

Let 'em come right into town

Sinking heaven and raising hell from ten paces



Come on now, face me, I'm at ten paces

Turn around and face me



There goes the sheriff with his crooked star

He chews tobacco leaf now

And spit it right in your eye

But I'm armed to my teeth

I'm ready for their tumble weed

When the saloon door swings

I'll be armed with ham and mandarins



Let the meek inherit the earth

Let the meek inherit the earth

Let 'em come right into town

Sinking heaven and raising hell from ten paces



Come on now, face me, I'm at ten paces

Turn around and face me



We are the meek, now give us the earth
