[Verse 1]
Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy
Your pappy was a trader and your mammy was an Indian maid, boy
We know all about it and we don't want a half-breed around, boy
Tomorrow by sunrise, better be outta town, boy

[Chorus]
Half-breed, they're hot on your trail, boy
Half-breed, but you'd better not run
Half-breed, you'd better get a gun, boy
Better get a gun and stand, boy
Better get a gun and stand

[Verse 2]
A man is a man as long as he can stand and think straight
A man is a man as long as he can stand and wait, boy
So don't let 'em dog you, no, don't let 'em, no, don't you let 'em, boy
You're a human being and you're just as good as them, boy

[Chorus]
Half-breed, they're hot on your trail, boy
Half-breed, but you'd better not run
Half-breed, you'd better get a gun, boy
Better get a gun and stand, boy
Better get a gun and stand
