歌曲名 Otto Wood The Bandit

歌手名 Doc Watson

Step up buddies and listen to my song

I'll sing it to you right but you may sing it wrong

All about a man called Otto Wood

I can't tell you all but I wish I could

He steped in a pawn shop a rainy day

And with the clerk he had a quarrel they say

Pulled out his pistol and he struck him a blow

And this is the way the story goes

Otto why didn't you run

Otto's done dead and gone

Otto Wood why didn't you run

When the sheriff pulled out that 44 gun

They spread the news as fast as they could

The sheriff served a warrant on Otto Wood

The jury said murder in the second degree

And the judge passed the sentence to the peniteniary

They put him in the pen but it done no good

It wouldn't hold the man they call Otto Wood

It wasn't very long till he slipped outside

Drawed a gun on the guard said take me for a ride

Otto why didn't you run

Otto's done dead and gone

Otto Wood why didn't you run

When the sheriff pulled out that 44 gun

Second time they caught him was away out west

In the holdup game he got shot through the breast

They brought him back and when he got well

They locked him down in a dungeon cell

He was a man they could not run

He always carried a 44 gun

He loved the women and he hated the law

And he just wouldn't take nobody's jaw

Otto why didn't you run

Otto's done dead and gone

Otto Wood why didn't you run

When the sheriff pulled out that 44 gun

He rambled out west and he rambled all around

He met the sheriff in a southern town

And the sheriff says Otto step this way

'Cause I've been expecting you every day

He pulled out his gun and then he said

Make a crooked move you both fall dead

Crank up your car and take me out of town

And a few minutes later he was graveyard bound

Otto why didn't you run

Otto's done dead and gone

Otto Wood why didn't you run

When the sheriff pulled out that 44 gun
