Comin' After Jinny

(专辑： Time - 1970)

He'll be coming down the road at the break of day
His head thrown back and his guns tied low
He's coming after Jinny wants to take her away
But I ain't gonna let her go

We boasted in town that she loved him
He said she'd be his with the sun
He said anyone try to stop him
Would be just one more notch on his gun

They say he's headstrong and handsome
His hair's blowing wild and free
And they got a hold I ain't coming
Cause he's a lot younger than me

He'll be coming down the road at the break of day
His head thrown back and his guns tied low
He's coming after Jinny wants to take her away
But I ain't gonna let her go

He hasn't had much education
And he ain't worked a day in his life
He's living with some older woman
They say she's another man's wife

But she wants him and needs him and loves him
She buys him his clothes and his meals
When she finds he's gone she'll be praying
And Lord I know just how she feels

But he'll be coming down the road at the break of day
His head thrown back and his guns tied low
He's coming after Jinny wants to take her away
But I ain't gonna let her go

The sun's at his back as he's coming
The smile is cruel on his lip
His right hand is slowly descending
To the sixgun that rest on his hip

Then his lower lip started tremble
He was crying as he looked up at me
And I picked him up I said son you're only four years old
And you know Jinny is only three

So come on inside the house and have some cookies and milk
And we did and the tears turned to smiles
And I called up his mama and I drove him home
And Jinny's safe at least for a little while
