Heard the sound of 2 men approachin’, But they did not hesitate. Hanna she was cryin’, But she wouldn’t let go of my leg. Thunder he was tired, and a thinkin’ of a better day. CHORUS: V3: Two shots fired and two figures fell, There was blood flowin’ over the ground. Two men dead in the noon day sun, And they never ever made a sound. Hanna she never forgave me, And I think I know the reason why. When I called out for Thunder, The horse he up and died. CHORUS: Then continue to play verses music fading out. Voice over verse music (spoken) "Aw, shoot me, shoot me."
