Jack Russell

Old Jack Russell was a real, cruel dude
Nothing in the world that he would't do
When It came to business he was very shrewd
But old Jack Russell knew what to do
He knew - just what to do

Always kept a gun right by his side
Didn't care if you were wanted dead or alive
Ready to cut you down to size
Old Jack Russell was ready to rise
He knew - just what to do

One Day Jack came into town
Lookin' for a cat named Slim Jim Brown
I knew right away what was going down
Old Jack had his familiar frown
I knew what I had to do

Slim Jim Brown was at the Inn
Sittin' on a stool drinking red-eyed gin
Looked at me when I came on in
Hey, You know who's comin' so look out, Jim
And he knew what he had to do

Sittin' in the corner was a blue-eyed girl
Jack's only weakness in this whole wide world
Jack walked over and he sealed his fate
The blue-eyed girl was Slim's sister, Kate
And she knew what she had to do

Jack had one thing on his mind
Never saw Slim sneakin' up behind
Slim was drunk, but his aim was true
Shot old Jack through and through
Cause he knew - what he had to do

Old Jack Russell is no more
Just the subject of folklore
But pay attention to his fate
And you won't end up someone's bait
When they knew what they had to do
Cause they knew what they had to do
