The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar,

in walked Brady with a shining star1

And Brady says, "Duncan you are under arrest"

And Duncan shot a hole in Brady's breast

Brady, Brady carried a .45,

Said it would shoot half a mile

Duncan had a .44

That what laid Mr. Brady so low

Brady fell down on the barroom floor,

"Please Mr. Duncan don' shoot me no more"

Women all cryin', ain't it a shame,

Shot King Brady, goin' shoot him again.

Brady, Brady, Brady, you know you done wrong,

walkin' in the room when the game was goin' on

Knockin down windows, breakin' down the door

Now you lyin' dead on the grocery floor

Women all heard that Brady was dead,

goes back home and they dresses in red

Come a sniffin' and a sighin' down the street,

in their big mother hubbards and their stockin' feet
