    Lyrics
    Kid Charone.

    Time it was I think it could get known
    When I was seventeen and barely grown
    I met up with the man called Kid Charone

    And them days went on and on
    And I’d meet him outside the saloon
    And would you expect me to spend my summers alone

    He was an outlaw turned killer too
    And in impatience he let his gun rule
    And I try here to make no claim for him

    He used to walk tall and he used to dress loud
    And one day they caught up and beat him down
    And I was held back by someone in the crowd

    And I spent that night wandering alone
    Thinking about what they done to him
    I suppose it was then I come up with this creed

    Oh all our lives are a sacrifice
    To things we can neither see nor hide
    They come and tend to bring us back and down

    I stayed with friends more his than mine
    And they were good and gentle and kind
    And the elders and the youngers knew when to let me be

    He got taken from a courthouse cell
    And they had on exhibit some shot gun shells
    And my eyes fill when I think this is all they had

    He kept it a rule to stay alone
    To say nothing incriminate no one
    And that’s how I know he’ll die alone

    And now you say you want to take my hand
    Well I have two kids by that man
    And is it would you want their names to change

    Casting my mind back to recall for you
    When I was seventeen and I was blue
    I met up with the man called Kid Charone

    Time it was I think it could get know
    When I was seventeen and barely grown
    I met up with the man called Kid Charone.
