cindy prince and bill white - He Was No Good

from Semantic Expansion by Bill White

/

lyrics

Everyone liked cowhand Luke
But he had a shadow past
Nobody would believe him
Even though he was an outcast

Some say old Jim was a victim
But he's buried neath that tree
He had quarreled with Luke
After sleepin' with Marie

Chorus
Some of his victims stayed 'round
Didn't go on as they should
They wanted revenge and wouldn't rest
Because they knew he was no good
Yeah, they knew he was no good

Seemed he could do no wrong
Though some had questions still
He stayed in the darkness
He had a destiny to fulfil

Some of us knew the truth
But Luke he put on a show
He took care of widow women
Seems they didn't want to know

Repeat chorus
