Linden Arden mencuri sorotan
With one hand tied behind his back
Dengan satu tangan diikat di belakang punggungnya
Loved the morning sun, and whiskey
Suka matahari pagi, dan wiski
Ran like water in his veins
Berlari seperti air di pembuluh darahnya
Loved to go to church on Sunday
Senang pergi ke gereja pada hari Minggu
Even though he was a drinking man
Meski pria itu sedang minum
When the boys came to San Francisco
Saat anak-anak datang ke San Francisco
They were looking for his life
Mereka mencari hidupnya
But he found out where they were drinking
Tapi dia tahu di mana mereka minum
Met them face to face outside
Bertemu mereka muka dengan muka di luar
Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet
Singkirkan kepala mereka dengan sebuah kapak
Lord, he was a drinkin’ man
Tuhan, dia adalah seorang peminum
And when someone tried to get above him
Dan ketika seseorang mencoba untuk mendapatkan di atasnya
He just took the law into his own hands
Dia hanya membawa hukum ke tangannya sendiri
Linden Arden stole the highlights
Linden Arden mencuri sorotan
And they put his fingers through the glass
Dan mereka memasukkan jari-jarinya ke kaca
He had heard all those stories many, many times before
Dia pernah mendengar banyak cerita itu, beberapa kali sebelumnya
And he did not care no more to ask
Dan dia tidak peduli lagi untuk bertanya
And he loved the little children like they were his very own
Dan dia mencintai anak kecil seperti mereka sendiri
He Said, “Someday it may get lonely.”
Dia berkata, “Suatu hari nanti mungkin akan sepi.”
Now he’s livin’, livin’ with a gun
Sekarang dia tinggal, dengan pistol
