I'd say I'm a lover not a fighter, I'd never stare nobody down
A D
Til one night my girl I could not find her, she never made it back from town

I found my Shannon cryin in the woods, a wicked man he held her down
A D
I stuck him deep an I buried him good, not deep enough to fool the hounds
D G D
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
A D
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife

A D
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
A D
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home

That train stopped in Tijuana, we built a shack beneath the sun

I make my Shannon margaritas, we watch our childre laugh and runrunrun

Sometimes I miss my daddy, sometimes I miss my mom
