The Ballad of Ranch Hand Robbie

On a dusty rock
 Circled in a gypsum maine
 Stood a tall ranch hand
 Robbie was his name
 He had fire in his eyes
 And thick leather for skin
 His fists and his gun were the only thing
 protecting his kin
 Another day's been spent
 Soon I'll be broke
 This life I've been burning
 I've gone up in smoke
 So Death when you take me
 Don't take me slow
 And don't put it off
 When it's my time to go
 He stood facing the fields
 He could hear the beasts rush
 He felt their foot falls
 As they crushed under brush
 "Get behind me child
 Stay with your ma
 I hope when you're grown
 That you'll forget what you saw."
 Another day's been spent
 Soon I'll be broke
 This life I've been burning
 I've gone up in smoke
 So Death when you take me
 Don't take me slow
 And don't put it off
 When it's my time to go
 He pulled out his guns
 Dead bead between its eyes
 But behind him he heard a noise
 And he turned to his surprise
 Where his family hid
 Where he guarded all he had
 Massive jaws of a massive beast
 Swallowed up his wife and his lad
 Another day's been spent
 Soon I'll be broke
 This life I've been burning
 I've gone up in smoke
 So Death when you take me
 Don't take me slow
 And don't put it off
 When it's my time to go
 Another day's been spent
 Soon I'll be broke
 This life I've been burning
 I've gone up in smoke
 So Death when you take me
 Don't take me slow
 And don't put it off
 When it's my time to go
 Another day's been spent
 Soon I'll be broke
 This life I've been burning
 I've gone up in smoke
 So Death when you take me
 Don't take me slow
 And don't put it off
 When it's my time to go
