Ian & Sylvia (about 1964 - Northern Journey) this posting by Rick in Macon
Song starts with the chorus
CHORUS:
FFour rode G7by,
FRode through G7here;
Three McClean boys Fand that G7wild Alex HCare.
FThey were aG7rmed,
FAll were G7armed,
It was Cthem. FI'd have G7known them Canywhere.
1ST VERSE:
Oh CWillie Palmer's G7stallion was no Ftwenty dollar Ccayuse,
And Cwhen the wild ones sG7tole him he Fhightailed it into Ctown
CUsher in those G7days was keeping Forder in the dCistrict
But before he'd ridden G7thirty miles the McFLean boys shot him dCown
CHORUS
2ND VERSE:
A Cshepherd known as G7Kelly saw the Fwild bunch as they Cpassed
They Cshot him with a G7rifle and Ftook his watch and Cchain
CWhen the posse G7found them they were iFn the lonely Ccabin
A Chunger took their G7fight away and nFo one else was Cslain
CHORUS
3RD VERSE:
They Chung the boys in G7January eFighteen eighty Cone,
The Cfirst time in that pG7rovince that they'd sFtrung up brothers tChree;
And the Cson killed nineteen G7Germans 'cross the Fseas back in Cseventeen
COne thing that's for dG7amned sure they're a Fwild ass Cfamily
FINAL CHORUS
