In hindsight it was pestilence, Not providence that Calamine was there
When I spotted Hobbs closing the shop and sweeping up the hair beneath his chair
A bell that hung over the door announced our entrance past the closed-for-business sign
Hobbs was covered up with holes and bleeding out when that bell rang a second time
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
It was my tongue that needed vengeance, Hobbs's ears would be my victim that night
My most loyal friend I'd ever had, Calamine had another plan in mind
Out here on the run with Calamine, When we're alone I'm scared to close my eyes
He's a dead-eye executioner, I hope he stays forever on my side
Oh Calamine, what will you do now
Oh Calamine, what will you do now
When the US marshall found, he was weary from our chase across the nation
I said you're lucky that you found me first 'cause Calamine don't care for conversation
He said let's go get him son, you're better off without a friend than you are dead
Just as soon as I tapped Calamine, he shot that poor old marshall in the head
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
I swear that I was innocent, an itchy trigger fingers not to blame
It was the trigger that was itchy, that very fact got Calamine his name
He's a 45 revolver whose thirst for blood had stood the test of time
And with his barrel pressed against me, I guess he's found an appetite for mine
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
Calamine, what have you done now
Oh Calamine, what have you done now
