The Death Of Tall Tom

from Acoustic Fudge by Robbie Tucker

/

lyrics

I stood up from the ground
I pushed myself up with my hands
My hands were covered in sand
And tall Toms blood

I’d been hot on tall Toms trail
He’d killed my wife took her away
And it changed me to a man
Who searched for blood

And it had been such a long time
Since he took my love away
Without as much as a second thought
That I would make him pay

And though this might not be the right thing
This death won’t right his wrong
Then in a breath my bullet caused his death
And tall Tom was gone

Though I see my enemy cold and dead in front of me
I see now that it did not bring her back
I just killed a lonely man the same lonely man that I now am
There is no earthly way I’m going back

Tall Tom was a man who made a plan that he could follow through
And if someone had to die well so too bad
He drank good whiskey didn’t talk
No he didn’t care and only lived to taunt
That’s why he had to die for all he’d done

And even though it is too late now
To question certain things
Like how the evil things he did throughout his life
Had brought him here to me

Now it has all ended with my pistol
With one cold shot into his head
Tall Tom fell as tall Tom died
Then tall Tom was dead

Though I see my enemy cold and dead in front of me
I see now that it did not bring her back
I just killed a lonely man the same lonely man that I now am
There is no earthly way I’m going back

Though I see my enemy cold and dead in front of me
I see now that it did not bring her back
I just killed a lonely man the same lonely man that I now am
There is no earthly way I’m going back
Not going back
Not going back yeah
