When I woke up this morning
I found myself alone
I turned to touch her hair
But she was gone, she was gone
And there beside my pillow
Were her tears from the night before
She said, give up your guns and face the law

I robbed a bank in Tampa
And I thought I had it made
But the hounds picked up my trail within the glades
So I ran and I stumbled on this cabin
And she came to me once more
She said, give up your guns and face the law

I don't wanna leave her, I don't wanna to die
Deep within a cold, cold grave
With no one 'round to cry
But I got my pistol, now it's time to choose
Shooting here or hanging there
And either way I lose

And now I'm in this cabin
Where my own true love should be
Instead there lies a note she wrote to me
And it says, no you can't live by the bullet
But you sure instead can die
My love, give up your guns or say good-bye, good-bye

And the sheriff now is calling
With his shotgun at my door
Son, give up your guns and face the law

Timothy
 

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...
