[Verse 1]

Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy

Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy

We know all about it and we don't want a half-breed around, boy

Tomorrow by sunrise, better be outta town, boy

[Chorus]

Half-breed, they're hot on your trail, boy

Half-breed, but you'd better not run

Half-breed, you'd better get a gun, boy

Better get a gun and stand, boy

Better get a gun and stand

[Verse 2]

A man is a man as long as he can stand and think straight

A man is a man as long as he can stand and wait, boy

So don't let 'em dog you, no, don't let 'em, no, don't you let 'em, boy

You're a human being and you're just as good as them, boy

[Chorus]

Half-breed, they're hot on your trail, boy

Half-breed, but you'd better not run

Half-breed, you'd better get a gun, boy

Better get a gun and stand, boy

Better get a gun and stand
