Down by the Hangman's Trail Shadows hide my face A desperado with no soul If you dare to ask my name Steel is all you'll get I am evil through and through Can't you see my devil's mark? I kill a snake with my bare hands, oh yes I do Put you six feet underground I'm the king of the badlands, oh yes I am Behind the trees I'm waiting Sipping on my booze Now I've got you in my sight You may dodge my bullet But I'll tell you the truth It's eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth Can't you see my devil's mark? I killed a man with my bare hands, oh yes I did Put you six feet underground I'm the king of the badlands Bullets flying through the air I was living on quicksands, oh yes I was Now I'm six feet underground I was king of the badlands
