The Sons of Katie Elder

Lyrics

From the four winds we have come Katie Elder
 Four brothers on the run Katie Elder
 All your little ones have grown and we've reaped what we have sown
 Yes, we've reaped what we have sown Katie Elder
 Oh, the wind blows like the devil when it blows
 And the boy grows up and like the wind he goes
 So mothers teach your sons to not live by a gun
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 I think you'd understand Katie Elder
 That a man is just a man Katie Elder
 They're bound to cut him down if he doesn't stand his ground
 But they haven't cut us down yet Katie Elder
 Oh, the wind blows like the devil when it blows
 And the boy grows up and like the wind he goes
 So mothers teach your sons to not live by a gun
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 
 We'll try to make it right Katie Elder
 No more hidin' in the night Katie Elder
 I vow it on your grave by all the things we never gave
 And mistakes that we all made Katie Elder
 Oh the wind blows and to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 And the boy grows up and like the wind he goes
 So mothers teach your sons to not live by a gun
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
 And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder
