There was a time
When a man got ahead
With a Colt 45 and a belt full of lead
He staked his claim and he worked his land
He fought for justice, a righteous man
Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny
Early one morning the news arrived
His brother shot dead by the Handsome Five
He kissed his wife, kicked open the door
Saddled up, headed west to settle the score
Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny
The sun was high, when the killers were found
Hiding out in an old ghost town
He called their names, five desperate men
He said boys it time I'm going to bring you in
The men they laughed, and drew their guns
Kilkenny shot them down, one by one
To the one still alive, writing in pain
He said I got one bullet left
Yes I've got one bullet left
What's my name
Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny
Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Kilkenny
What's my name?
