(hicks / lynch)   There never was a man so doggone mean   I wore only black and my eyes were green   And I can tell you now that I'm very old   I'd kill any man for a piece of gold      Oh what a life I've led   I've been a real bad man and I oughta be dead   Oh what a life I've led   I've been real mean man, full of cheating and lying   Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying   Yes I did      I rode into dodge on a sunny day   I went there to steal all the railmen's pay   And when I left town all the streets ran red   I had ten grand in gold, and three guards lay dead      Chorus      I was a bad man with a heart made of stone   If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone      I've lived all my life, such a lonely one   Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun   I've lived and I've loved and I knew great pain   But I know now I'd do it over again singing      Chorus x 2
