Five brothers who left from Arkansas
Set out to find the gambler who murdered their pa
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans

They heard of him in Houston and his trail was leading west
He left there many months ago and so he couldn’t rest
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans, New Orleans

The sun was hot as fire and the nights were cold as steel
Hate was strong and youth was wild and so they couldn’t feel
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans


His trail led to the badlands and the desert promised him
The gamblers odds were different now he treasured every breath
Five brothers and three in their teens
Close behind the man who killed their pa in New Orleans, New Orleans

When first they saw the killer he was by a water hole
Five rifles rang out through the night they killed the gambler cold
Five brothers and three in their teens
Finally got the man who killed their pa in New Orleans

The desert is their keeper now for this is how it ends
A poison lived within the hole now six of them are dead
Five brothers and three in their teens
Lie beside the man who killed their pa in New Orleans
Lie beside the man who killed their pa in New Orleans
