Bow- legged Charlie was a cowboy
Bow- legged can be
Charlie had one blue eye, and the other one was green
Charlie got a bad woman
Her name was Millie-Brown
Used to sell that boot- legged whiskey
All around town
Well Millie stabbed little Charlie
She stabbed him, in the arm
Charlie got his blue eye mad
And Charlie shot her down
Got to get to the highway
Highway will set you free
Got to get out of this town Charlie
You got to get out in time
Run Charlie run
Run Charlie run
Bow- legged Charlie was a cowboy
Bow-legged can be
Charlie got that bad MIllie-Brown
Now Charlie shot her down
Police looking looking looking for Charlie
Charlie ain't around
Run
Keep on, keep on running Charlie
Some people say Charlie's living
Down in Arizona way
Some people say Charlie's living
Down in Arizona way
Keep on running, keep on running Charlie
Keep on running, keep on running Charlie
Keep on running, keep on running
Run Charlie run
Hide down in Arizona way
Oh he was a bad bad man
Charlie had one eye
