Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip

"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip"

Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
