Jim Ed Brown - Half Breed Lyrics

(John Loudermilk)

Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy (half breed)
Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy(half breed)
We know all about it and we don't want a half breed around, boy(half breed)
Tomorrow by sundown, better be out of town, boy.

Half breed, their hot on your trail, boy
Half breed, but you better not run
Half breed, you'd better get a gun, boy
Better get a gun and stand, boy.

You better get a gun and stand.

--- Instrumental ---

A man is a man as long as he can stand and think straight (half breed)
A man is a man as long as he can stand and wait, boy (half breed)
So don't let em dog you, no don't let em, boy (half breed)
You're a human being and you're just as good as them, boy.

Half breed, their hot on your trail, boy
Half breed, but you better not run
Half breed, you better get a gun, boy
You better get a gun and stand, boy

You better get a gun and stand.
You better get a gun...
