Pecos Charlie swimming in his shirt
Standing around with his dick in the dirt
Poor poor Charlie got his feelings hurt
On a warm southern night
He left his cabin up on the hill
He had a run in with Dirty Bill
He played Charlie for a shill
He must've shot him dead
So hold back the river
Let the good lord deliver
There is work to be done
So run rabbit, run
They used to take only what they need
But now they poison down to the seed
All that money for a poor man's greed
It's a rich man's world
It was a dark and beautiful night
He had that carburetor running just right
He punched the gas, he was out of site
They didn't suspect a thing
So hold back the river
Let the good lord deliver
There is work to be done
So run rabbit, run
Well Irish Sally lived downtown
She get flush with Bill around
She cussed him out but kissed him hard
She fell into his darkened heart
Whiskey on a woman's breath
He knew that was certain death
He resigned to the drunkard's fate
She set the trap, he took the bait
She held back the river
Let the good lord deliver
There is work to be done
So run rabbit, run
She stabbed Billy in the back
She caught him in another's shack
She stormed into a jealous rage
He lost his love in the bed he made
Morning did come soon enough
Bill grabbed his gun and a little stuff
Set out for the Golden Coast
For the drink and drug she loved the most
She held back the river
Let the bad man deliver
There is work to be done
So run rabbit, run
Rabbit, run
