Coward Of The County

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county

  • Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
  • He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
  • His mama named him tommy but folks just called him yellow
  • But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong
  • He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
  • Well i looked after tommy cause he was my brother's son
  • And i still recall the final words my brother said to tommy
  • Son my life is over but yours is just begun
  • Promise me son not to do the things i've done
  • Walk away from trouble if you can
  • Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
  • I hope you're old enough to understand
  • Son you don't have to fight to be a man
  • There's someone for ev'ryone tommy's love was becky
  • In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
  • One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin
  • They took turns at becky there was three of them
  • Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin
  • The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
  • He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy's picture
  • As the tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again
  • Promise me son not to do the things i've done
  • Walk away from trouble if you can
  • Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
  • I hope you're old enough to understand
  • Son you don't have to fight to be a man
  • The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom
  • One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor
  • Then tommy turned around they said hey look ol yellow's leavin
  • But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and locked the door
  • Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him
  • He wasn't holdin nothin back he let em have it all
  • When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin
  • He said this one's for becky as he watched the last one fall
  • And i heard him say
  • I promised you dad not to do the things you've done
  • I'll walk away from trouble if i can
  • Now please don't think i'm weak i couldn't turn the other cheek
  • And papa i sure hope you understand
  • Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
  • Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
