Half-Breed Lyrics By Marvin Rainwater

    here’s a story about a boy who was always in trouble and just because hispappywas a whitetrader and his mammy was anindian maid

    halfbreed halfbreed
    well your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an indian maid boy halfbreed
    your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an indian maid boy halfbreed
    we know all about it and we dont want a halfbreed around boy
    before sundown you’d better be out of town boy

    halfbreed they’re hot on your trail boy
    halfbreed but you better not run
    halfbreed youd 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 halfbreed
    a man is a man as long as he can stand unafraid boy halfbreed
    so don’t let ’em dog you no don’t you let ’em don’t let ’em boy
    ’cause you gotta hold to carry and youre just as necessary as they boy

    halfbreed theyre hot on your trail boy
    halfbreed but you better not run
    halfbreed you’d better get a gun boy
    better get a gun and stand boy
    you better get a gun and stand
    halfbreed theyre hot on your trail boy
    halfbreed but you better not run
    halfbreed you’d better get a gun boy
    better get a gun and stand boy
    you better get a gun and stand

    halfbreed halfbreed
    halfbreed halfbreed
    halfbreed halfbreed
    halfbreed halfbreed
