Dirty dan he came up from savannah

Carried a mean streak in his eye.

Nowhim and jake both wanted annabella

I guess one man here has got to die.



Get upjakeit's late in the mornin'

The rain is pourin' and we got work to do.

Get upjakethere's no need a-dyin'

Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you.
