Abney Park - The Ballad Of Ranch Hand Robbie

On a dusty rock Circled in a gypsum maine Stood a tall ranch hand Robbie was his name He had fire in his eyes And thick leather for skin His fists and his gun were the only thing protecting his kin Another day's been spent Soon I'll be broke This life I've been burning I've gone up in smoke So Death when you take me Don't take me slow And don't put it off When it's my time to go He stood facing the fields He could hear the beasts rush He felt their foot falls As they crushed under brush "Get behind me child Stay with your ma I hope when you're grown That you'll forget what you saw." Another day's been spent Soon I'll be broke This life I've been burning I've gone up in smoke So Death when you take me Don't take me slow And don't put it off When it's my time to go He pulled out his guns Dead bead between its eyes But behind him he heard a noise And he turned to his surprise Where his family hid Where he guarded all he had Massive jaws of a massive beast Swallowed up his wife and his lad Another day's been spent Soon I'll be broke This life I've been burning I've gone up in smoke So Death when you take me Don't take me slow And don't put it off When it's my time to go Another day's been spent Soon I'll be broke This life I've been burning I've gone up in smoke So Death when you take me Don't take me slow And don't put it off When it's my time to go Another day's been spent Soon I'll be broke This life I've been burning I've gone up in smoke So Death when you take me Don't take me slow And don't put it off When it's my time to go
