The Ballad of Boot Hill – The Deslondes Lyrics
Here lies Les Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les no more
Out in Arizona, just south of Tucson
Where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home
There's a town they call Tombstone, where the brave never cry
They live by a six-gun, by a six-gun they die
It's been a long time now since the town was a boom
The jailhouse is empty, so is Palace Saloon
Just one look will tell you that this town was real
Secluded old dirt road leads up to Boom Hill
Walk up to the fencе there and look at the viеw
That's where they were hanging, 1882
It's easy to see where the brave men had died
Remarks on the old tree are now petrified
At night when the moon shined so far away
It gets mighty lonesome looking down on that grave
There lies Billy Clinton, never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guillotine way up on Boom Hill
He's there with the guillotine way up on Boom Hill
No álbum Don't Let It Die: Vol. 1, The Ballad of Boot Hill, de The Deslondes; compositor Carl Perkins; lançamento May 22, 2026.
