lyrics

They say Mister Brown is a bad, bad man
Some say he's the devil's son
He lives alone in the valley with an old bloodhound
In a mean looking log cabin
No one looks and no one says
Not a single word to Mister Brown

Some say he killed his wife
And threw her in the wood chipper
Some say they've seen him a sitting
On the porch chatting with the devil
No one looks and no one says
Not a single word to Mister Brown

Oh mama says, "you best not hang around there"
"You best not hang around Mister Brown's after midnight"

But I don't care what my mama says
I'm going to see about Mister Brown
I wear my coon skin hat, light load on my back
And a double barrel shotgun
No one looks and no one says
Not a single word to Mister Brown

In my cold, sweaty hands my shotgun shakes
At the sight of Mister brown
A boom, a crack, a gunshot snaps
But I didn't pull the trigger
No one looks and no one says
Not a single word to Mister Brown

Oh mama says, "you best not hang around"
"You best not hang around Mister Brown's after midnight"

There's blood on the wall, there's blood on the dog
There's blood on the letterhead
And I can just make out from the words that he laid
The town done wrong by Mister Brown
No one looks and no one says
Not a single word to Mister Brown
