Marvin Rainwater - Half-breed Lyrics

(spoken)
[now here's a story about a boy who was always in trouble]
[and just because his pappy was a white trader]
[and his mammy was an indian maiden]

(half-breed)
(half-breed)
Well, your pappy was a trader, and your mammy was an indian maid boy
Your pappy was a trader, and your mammy was an indian maid boy
We know all about it and we don't want a half-breed around no
Before sundown you better be out of town boy

Half-breed, they're hot on your tail boy
Half-breed, but you better not run
Half-breed, you better get a gun boy
Better get a gun and stand boy
You better get a gun and stand

Well, a man is a man as long as his plans are made boy
A man is a man as long as he can stand unafraid boy
So don't let 'em down, you know, no, don't you let 'em boy
'cause you got a load to carry and you're just as necessary as they boy

Half-breed, they're hot on your tail boy
Half-breed, but you better not run
Half-breed, you better get a gun boy
Better get a gun and stand boy
You better get a gun and stand

Half-breed, they're hot on your tail boy
Half-breed, but you better not run
Half-breed, you better get a gun boy
Better get a gun and stand boy
You better get a gun and stand

Half-breed. half-breed. half-breed. (fades)
Half-breed. half-breed. half-breed.
