D C#m F#m
Once upon a ruthless time
D E A
Lived a man folks thought was kind
D C#m F#m
People called him laughing Will
D E A
But inside he loved to kill
D C#m F#m
Ruled a city with his mob
D E A
A connoisseur on the way to rob
D C#m F#m
And some refused him, they’re dead or lame
D E F#m
And old Will always dodged the blame
D C#m F#m
Johnny could not help be near
D E A
But he saw Will’s face quite clear
D C#m F#m
Old Will Parker saw him run
D E A
Followed with his smoking gun
D C#m F#m
He was just a fairground boy
D E A
A-helping him on the wheel of joy
D C#m F#m
He pulled no punches, he played the game
D A F#m
But Old Will shot him just the same
