[Verse 1]
Oh, you have done much damage
Oh, you of little worth
And of heavy pocket
And of heavy purse
And of dumb luck
And of swollen tongue
You have stole my daughter
I of loaded gun
I of little vision
You of little faith
You of faulty genes
You are in my way
I who protect my kin
I who make demands
I who speak in tongues
I am a poor, poor man
[Chorus]
Oh, and with no money and no trinkets
I made you a drink, sir
I reckon you should drink it
I've got a daughter and she looks like me
Well she oughta, she's got half of my genes
And her mother is a Carpegian from the border
She sells grenadine for a quarter by the water
[Verse 2]
I wrote you a song
You got a pretty voice
My daughter praises you
I think you make her moist
You who are not welcome
You who gave her seed
You she calls at night
You she says she needs
I have begun to hate you
Like Judas of our town
Your name is a subtle poison
That bring good men down
I must take some blame
I guess I should have known
I gave you so much trust
Now I'm a poor, poor man
[Chorus]
Oh, and with no money and no trinkets
I made you a drink, sir
I reckon you should drink it
I've got a daughter and she looks like me
Well she oughta, she's got half of my genes
And her mother is a Carpegian from the border
She sells grenadine for a quarter by the water
[Chorus]
Bind his hands and gag his mouth my friends
It is time that we all make amends
Bind his hands boys, bind his hands and sing
[Verse 3]
Now listen up now, I got something to say
I was an evil man, I did some cruel things
Done sold my kids, philandered from my wife
I done kill a man
[x4]
I walked right into town
There was a man like me there
Hanging on a long rope as the
Town folks stood in prayer
[Bridge]
"Hang him high!"
[Repeat]
[Chorus]
I've got a daughter and she looks like me
Well she oughta, she's got half of my genes
And her mother is a Carpegian from the border
She sells grenadine for a quarter by the water
[2x]
[Outro]
I got a grandson, looks like me
Well he oughta, he's got most of my genes
[x2]
And he looks like me
