Big Willie Broke Jail Tonight Songtext
von Gus Backus

Wake up the dogs Johnny
Bring out the best bloodhounds
Hold on to your courage tight
Oil up your Winchester
Get in to the passé
Big Willie broke jail tonight

He′s toting a shotgun
It's cocked and on a ready
He′s making a last ditch fight
Ten men in a manhunt
How many will come back?

Big Willie broke jail tonight
Watch out for the quicksand
Watch out for the swamp
Big Willie will shoot on sight
Get off of your knees
But keep on with your praying


Big Willie broke jail tonight
Fan out to the east
And fan out to the west
And keep all of them hounds in sight
Big Willie is mean as three kinds of a sneak
And he's gonna be tough all right
Big Willie will shoot you
Big Willie will kill you
Quicker than a rattlers' bite
Somebody will catch it
Somebody will pay cause

Big Willie broke jail tonight
Watch out for the quicksand
Watch out for the swamp
Big Willie will shoot on sight
Get off of your knees
But keep on with your praying

Big Willie broke jail tonight
Watch out for the quicksand
Watch out for the swamp
Big Willie will shoot on sight
Get off of your knees
But keep on with your praying.
