The Ballad of Russell Rose and His Trusty Steed (O Shelley) Lyrics

Cut out the funny business

No more messing around

Because I know up

I know up from down

No more silly lights

I want to see the stars

Because I know Jupiter

I know Jupiter from Mars

That's enough horse play

Partner put your weapons down

Don't you know you could really hurt someone with that thing

Bang bang, hellfire rains upon me

These lawmen must really want me

O Shelly, can't you ride a little faster

I know this voyage has been a disaster

And Shelly, there's a lot I wanna tell you after this

We'll get to an oasis

Hey you, demon, devil, put your weapons down

Didn't your mama ever tell you not to play with guns

Oh you, demon, devil, put your weapons to the ground

You know I've got my eyes on you

O Shelly, don't you know what I want to say to you

With a red apple in your mouth

O Shelly, these bags are getting heavy

And my vision's growing dim

And my pistol's in my holster

And my heart is in my throat

With these enemies close behind

And my mind on my warm bed

O Shelly,

Can't you ride a little faster baby,

We'll be living in the pasture baby

Just you and me

O Shelly

Hey you, demon, devil, I'm keeping my 42 locked and loaded, trained on you

Yeehaw, yeehaw

Hey you, monster, devil, you know I'm looking at you

Don't think that the slightest movement will go unnoticed

O Shelly, don't you know that I love you

A couple pat pat pats on your head should tell you

And the spurs in your side are only for the fear of losing our lives

But Shelly, you're my pride and joy

With my pistol in my holster

And my heart is in my throat

Oh no

With these enemies close behind

And my mind on my warm bed

O Shelly, can't you ride a little faster baby

We'll be living in the pasture baby,

O Shelley, o Shelly, o Shelly

Yeehaw, yeehaw
