Coward Of The County(Remastered 2006)
Everyone considered him the coward of the County
- Everyone considered him the coward of the County
- He'd never stood one single time to prove the County wrong
- His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him yellow
- 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 but yours has 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 everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
- In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
- One day while he was working the Gatlin boys came calling
- They took turns at Becky there was three of them
- Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying
- The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
- He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy's picture
- As his tear 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 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 half way 'cross the floor
- When Tommy turned around they said
- Hey look old yella's leavin'
- But you could've heard a pin drop
- When Tommy stopped and locked the door
- Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
- He wasn't holding nothing back he let 'em have it all
- When Tommy left the bar room not a Gatlin boy was standing
- He said this one's for Becky
- As he watched the last one fall
- I heard him say
- I promised you Dad not to do the things you've 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
- Everyone considered him the coward of the County
