"Half-Breed" Lyrics

Half-Breed by Marvin Rainwater

(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.
