I'm Afraid

(专辑： Ballads Of The Hills And Plains - 1965)

There he stands in the middle of the street
With lighting hands and wide-spread feet
The evening sun is gonna see
Somebody dead either him or me
I'm afraid

The man I face used to be my friend
We used to ride in the Texas wind
I guess you'll kill another man
I hope you're happy Janie Ann
I'm afraid

Too scared to fight too proud to run
Guess we'll see who's the fastest gun
A lonesome walk on the count of three
Then a rapid trip to eternity
I'm afraid
(Afraid afraid afraid)

He's getting closer to me now
Soon he'll draw I taught him how
A duel of fools for Janie Ann
The fastest gal for the fastest man
I'm afraid

His hand is dropping to his gun
Tell me oh Lord am I the one
My hand is shaking for I know
That I'm not really set to go
I'm afraid

There he lies in the middle of the street
His lightning hands at last I beat
I killed my friend for Janie Ann
But that don't mean I am a man
I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid
