Down by the Hangman's Trail
Shadows hide my face
A desperado with no soul

If you dare to ask my name
Steel is all you'll get
I am evil through and through

Can't you see my devil's mark?
I kill a snake with my bare hands, oh yes I do
Put you six feet underground
I'm the king of the badlands, oh yes I am

Behind the trees I'm waiting
Sipping on my booze
Now I've got you in my sight

You may dodge my bullet
But I'll tell you the truth
It's eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth

Can't you see my devil's mark?
I killed a man with my bare hands, oh yes I did
Put you six feet underground
I'm the king of the badlands

Bullets flying through the air
I was living on quicksands, oh yes I was
Now I'm six feet underground
I was king of the badlands
