Coward of the Country

Ev'ryone considered him

  • Ev'ryone considered him
  • The coward of the County
  • He'd never stood
  • One single time
  • To prove the counrtry wrong
  • His mama named him Tommy
  • The 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
  • I looked after Tommy
  • 'Cause he was my brother's son
  • I still recall the final words
  • My brother said to Tommy
  • Son my life is over
  • Joy is just begun
  • Promise me son not to do the things I've done
  • Walk away from trouble if you can
  • It won'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 and
  • 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
  • And took down his daddy's picture
  • As his 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
  • It won'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
  • When Tommy turned around they said Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'
  • But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked
  • The door
  • Twenty years of crawlin'
  • Was bottled up inside him
  • He wasn't holdin' nothin' back
  • 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 done
  • I walk away from trouble when I can
  • Now please don't think I'm weak I didn'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
