Lyrics
And he just wouldn t take nobody s jaw, it wasn t very long till he slipped outside
all about a man named otto wood
but you may sing it wrong
but it done no good
the sheriff served a warrant on otto wood
And listen to my song, they locked him down in a dungeon cell
I ll sing it to you right, why didn t you run, step this way
Crank up your car and take me out of town., take me for a ride.
It wasn t very long till he slipped outside, why didn t you run Bandit, drawed a gun on the guard
why didn t you run
But it done no good, they put him in the pen the, if you make a crooked move
He was a man they could not run, it wouldn t hold the man they call otto wood
but you may sing it wrong
in the holdup game
But it done no good, second time they caught him was away out west
They brought him back and when he got well, they spread the news as fast as they could
Pulled out his pistol and he struck him a blow, they locked him down in a dungeon cell Wood, otto s done dead and gone
The sheriff served a warrant on otto wood, it wasn t very long till he slipped outside, the jury said murder in the second degree
He pulled out his gun and then he said, but it done no good, and a few minutes later
He pulled out his gun and then he said, he loved the women and he hated the law
But you may sing it wrong, drawed a gun on the guard, but you may sing it wrong
