Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man,
Made his presence felt with a gun in his hand
I can't stand around while the rich stay rich,
The poor get poorer and a grown man with begging hands
I'm gonna ride on in,
I'm gonna saddle on up
I'm gonna walk right in,
I'll shoot a single shot up
I'll yell get down on the ground if you want to see your loved ones,
Shut up that mouth if you still want to live
I said shut up
Now fill these bags with money,
And make it quick
Now fill these bags with money,
And don't try any dumb tricks
Just give me what I want,
And I'll be on my way
No one will get hurt,
There ain't nothing to say
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man,
Made his presence felt with a gun in his hand
I can't stand around while the rich stay rich,
The poor get poorer and a grown man with begging hands
Well I came here ready to fight if I must,
Tell the sheriff to keep his distance
And the rest of his department to stay back as well,
I ain't afraid to draw my sights on them,
And send them to hell
Don't take these words for granted,
Don't think this is a bluff
I killed many men before,
And I'll kill you if I must
Done battle with the devil,
Been sent to do God's work
To take from the rich and give to the poor and the sick
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man,
Made his presence felt with a gun in his hand
I can't stand around while the rich stay rich,
The poor get poorer and a grown man with begging hands
Well he ain't no Robin Hood or Mother Teresa,
Just a man with a mask and a gun,
Doing what he can
There ain't no reason for anyone to die,
For the lack of money or proper medicine
He's a man,
He's a bank robbing man
He ain't all that bad,
He's a bank robbing man
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man,
Two Timing Tommy wasn't all that bad
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man,
Made his presence felt with a gun in his hand
I can't stand around while the rich stay rich,
The poor get poorer and a grown man with begging hands
Well there was a gun fight just as dark fell,
In that moment well there was a strong smell
Of blood and gun powder,
And the loss of many lives
In that moment you can see one man survived,
Though mortally wounded and covered in blood
That man uttered these words that we'll never forget,
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man
Two Timing Tommy wasn't all that bad,
Two Timing Tommy was a bank robbing man
Two Timing Tommy wasn't all that bad,
All that bad,
All that bad,
All that bad,
All that bad,
All that bad
