Elton John The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-1934)

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Some punk with a shotgun killed young danny bailey
In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel
Killed him in anger, a force he couldn’t handle
Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life
And there’s not many knew him the way that we did
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren’t most hungry kids

[Chorus]
Now it’s all over danny bailey
And the harvest is in
Dillinger’s dead
I guess the cops won again
Now it’s all over danny bailey
And the harvest is in

[Verse 2]
We’re running short of heroes back up here in the hills
Without danny bailey we’re gonna have to break up our stills
So mark his grave well `cause kentucky loved him
Born and raised a proper, i guess life just bugged him
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age

[Chorus]
