The Banishing Of William McGuiness

You’ve got a hot right hand so settle down
You’ve called him out and he’s coming ‘round,
She says
You’d better listen

There’s so much trouble here looking for you
He’ll cut you down if you don’t shoot through,
She says
You’d better listen

My son, slow down, there’s so much hurting
In this dead horse town
My boy, leave now, there’s so much murder
In this one cunt town
If you don’t think that we’ll make it tonight,
If you don’t think it’ll be alright,
My son, leave now

He killed him two chinese in bendigo
They sent him north should the mine explode,
She says
You’d better listen

The man will lose no sleep over killing you
That dirty badge is more black than blue, she says
You’d better listen

My son, slow down, there’s so much hurting
In this dead horse town
My boy, leave now, there’s so much murder
In this one cunt town
If you don’t think that we’ll make it tonight,
If you don’t think it’ll be alright,
My son, leave now, my son, leave now

Oh kid you’ll come undone,
All my lessons forgotten
Oh kid you are young
And he feeds on the bottom

My son, slow down, there’s so much hurting
In this dead horse town
My boy, leave now, there’s so much murder
In this one cunt town
If you don’t think that we’ll make it tonight,
If you don’t think it’ll be alright,
My son, leave now
My son, take the horse and forget all except you were loved
