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
