lyrics

Well Frankie Trombone shot down a man and then he was on the run
Once the first was done, the second wasn't hard and another ten yet to come
He grew up as a poor boy and never had enough to eat or went to school
His mother died young and his father left him too so he learned how a fist can rule
Grown up in sorrow, fear is what he's learnt and what he's giving back
Once he had jumped over the line, there was no point in turning back

He never wanna go to jail
he would rather kill himself
Looking back in anger
on a life he never had
on a life he never had

Wherever he went, he burnt it all to ground and so he became infamous
A bloody train robbery down in Arizona was the straw that broke the camel's back
His head became worth a thousand dollars, if you got him dead or alive
Vultures above and a marshall at his heels, Frankie had to hide

He never wanna go to jail
he would rather kill himself
Looking back in anger
on a life he never had
on a life he never had

He never wanna go to jail
he would rather kill himself
Looking back in anger
on a life he never had

He never wanna go to jail
he would rather kill himself
Looking back in anger
on a life he never had

It’s a life he never had
It’s a life he never had
It’s a life he never had
It’s a life he never had
