Verse 1:
Gm
I went out one mornin' for to take a little walk
   Gm7                        Gm
I came across that Wild Bill Jones
Gm
He was a walkin' and a talkin' by my true lover's side
      Gm7                   Gm
And I bid him to leave her alone

    Gm7
He said "Young man I'm passed twenty one
     Gm
Too old for you to control"
    Gm
He reached for his knife, so I pulled my gun
    Gm7                          Gm7
And I destroyed that poor boy's soul

I got out of jail without any bail

For that judge said I was a free man

And I walk all around till my true love was found

She begged me for to leave her alone
