The Outlaws Lyrics - Marty Robbins

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin') 

A harder ridin' bunch of outlaws no one ever saw 

I don't recall the lawman that could match or beat the draw 

The rode the west, they fought the best 

The never lost a fight 

They did their hidin' in the daytime 

Ridin' most at night 

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin') 

They rode into Yuma on a hot September day 

Hit the bank and got the gold and then they rode away 

The sheriff tried to stop 'em but he didn't really try 

The sheriff thought too much of life 

And he didn't wanna die 

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin') 

The governor of the territory called the rangers in 

The rangers caught the outlaws and the fightin' did begin 

For seven hours they fought and there were bodies all around 

Not one body of an outlaw lay upon the ground 

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin') 

They only took the money that the rich got by their greed 

And gave it to the ranchers who were desperately in need 

They'd ride into the poorest section of a border town 

Evenly distributed to the poorest of the town 

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin') 

Maybe it was wrong to steal, but was it wrong to give? 

They took many chances so a friend in need might live 

One by one they've gone but still there's one alive to tell 

The outlaws never failed to hear it when a friend would yell 

The outlaws are commin' (commin', commin')
