(to the tune of El Paso by Marty Robbins)

Close by the West Texas town of El Paso
There was a drug deal that went very wrong
Llewellyn, he fled with a bag full of money
Came back to the scene, but he took far too long

Blacker than night was the heart of the Chigurh
Wicked and evil and killing for fun
He soon went after Llewellyn’s new treasure
Armed with a captive bolt cow stunning gun

That’s where the grizzled old sheriff came in
Tired of West Texas crime
Fretting and moaning
Of times that were changing
He looked for Llewellyn
To save his thick hide

So with insight he

Sought out the woman who married Llewellyn
He tried to warn her of what was in store
Meanwhile the killer was tracking Llewellyn
Tracking him all the way to his front door

But there were others looking for the money
All of them hoping to bring back the dough
Many hands didn’t make light of the workload
Soon one by one, well they all had to go

Out of the motels and buildings he ran
Running or hitching a ride
He stopped an old truck
Which proved to be bad luck
It won’t be long
`Fore the two worlds collide
