Dead Danny Rose
Stole an automobile
Danny Rose
No, he oughtn't to steal

Fighting and stealing
That's how my Danny rose
Shouting his name
So everybody knows
He was a dare
Danny Rose

Dead Danny blows
Thought he'd go it alone
Danny goes
With his gun and his comb

Shooting and stealing
That's how my Danny grows
Shouting his fame
So everybody knows
He was a rare
Danny Rose

Dead Danny Rose
They saved him yet you
Hang up his clothes
People beg to inspect you
Saying here is the blood stained
Jacket he wore
This is his original gun
Never been seen by the public before

Danny Rose
Stole an automobile
Danny Rose
Really oughtn't to steal

He hit the road block
They saw him explode
No one could save him
But how my Danny glowed
'Til early morning

Rare Danny
Rare Danny
Rare Danny
Rare Danny
Please say a prayer for Danny Rose
