[Verse 1]
At last I have caught up with you, and you're a sight to see
Could this really be my outlaw lover JJ Sneed?
Could a woman with a painted face and pretty sweet disguise
Turn your heart against me with her evil, cunning eyes?
Her evil, cunning eyes

[Verse 2]
JJ, it's been you and me right from the very start
In every job we ever pulled, I always done my part
We agreed we'd stick together until the bitter end
And it was my understanding we were whole lots more than friends
A whole lot more than friends

[Verse 3]
And it was me that kept you warm when nights were dark and cold
But I guess I didn't look like much in these old ragged clothes
But you said it didn't matter, 'cause you loved me that a way
You said that no one else could ever steal your heart away
Steal your heart away

[Verse 4]
Do you recall the Union Bank we robbed in Franklin Town?
As we made our getaway, the sheriff gunned you down
And I doctored up your bullet wounds and nursed you while you were sick
But now you have betrayed me, is that the thanks I get?
Is that the thanks I get?
[Verse 5]
Oh yeah, JJ, I'm thinking now of how it all begun
Of all the times we've robbed and killed with our trustworthy guns
Why we stood off a posse once, JJ, just you and I
But now you have betrayed me, and for that you're gonna die
Yeah, for that you're gonna die

[Verse 6]
The good old days are over as we stand here in the rain
JJ, I'm going to shoot you now, I hope you feel no pain
I hear hoofbeats of the horses, posse's on my trail
I guess I'll join you soon, but for now, JJ, farewell
For now, JJ, farewell
