feathers and tar

he won't come back today

he won't come back today

there's things to do and people to see

he won't come back today

some people have way too much

they own some fancy stuff

he knows his ways

keeps in the shade

some people they own too much

so he had a real bold plan

he mentioned it to the wrong man

the liquor always won

but now he will be hung

he won't come back today

so his wife

she had a gun

she gave it to her son

who wasn't scared of feathers and tar

so he walked into that bar

you can guess who finally won

he won't come back today

he won't come back today

there's things to do and people to see

he won't come back today
