Lyrics
The Boys Are On The Road Again
The boys are on the road again
The boys are on the road again
Hide your daughters, make no sound
Dirty business heading for this town
Mister Mayor better beware
Send your family off somewhere
Keep that gold watch out of sight
Tell your banker to look up good at night
Make sure the piano man stays away from the blues
And let the barmaid serve them plenty of booze
Then maybe they´ll lose
The boys are on the road again
The boys are on the road again
Hide your daughters, make no sound
Dirty business heading for this town
The boys are on the road again
The boys are on the road again
Hide your daughters, make no sound
Dirty business heading for this town
Sheriff, sheriff shine your star
Hang old Betsy on the wall
Recall the code of western law ?
The best kind of trouble is no trouble at all
So pay your working girls a special fee
Whatever the boys want done,
they can have it for free
Then maybe they´ll leave
The boys are on the road again
The boys are on the road again
Hide your daughters, make no sound
Dirty business heading for this town
