Something’s gone wrong
In Wellington County
Something’s gone wrong
Oh mercy me
A false-hearted lover
The villain’s daughter
There’s blood ‘tween me and you
Something’s gone wrong
What did I do?
He tortured my mother
They shot down my pa
Young Jebodiah Wilkes
And his ruthless outlaws
They torched our timber
They bloodied our land
And ever since that day I swore
I’d kill every one of them
(Chorus)
Jebodiah claims
The fastest hand in the west
But he’ll go down like the others
He’ll die like the rest
I married his daughter
I made her my wife
And I opened the door
Into Jebodiah’s life
We had tied down our horses
We’d laid down our guns
When he looked deep in my eyes
Saw the setting of his son
He said, “I’ve read many faces
I’ve told many lies
The truth is you’re here to kill me
I can see it in your eyes”
He went for his gun
I drew out my knife
I threw that silver dagger
And I robbed him of his life
(Chorus)
Jebodiah claimed
The fastest hands in the west
But he went down like the others
He died like the rest
