1354 – Eagles – Doolin-Dalton (1973)



Escrita por Don Henley, Glenn Frey, JD Souther e Jackson Browne, foi gravada em 1973 e lançada em 17 de abril de 1973 no disco Desperado. Jackson Browne havia recebido um livro sobre faroeste no seu aniversário e mostrou pros amigos dos Eagles. Lá falava das estórias sobre Bill Dalton e Bill Doolin, que formavam a gangue de Doolin-Dalton.


A letra:


They were Doolin, Doolin-Dalton

High or low, it was the same

Easy money, and faithless women

Red eye whiskey for the pain


Go down Bill Dalton, it must be God's will

Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeeville

Two voices call to you from where they stood

"Lay down your law books now, they're no damn good"


Better keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton

Till your shadow sets you free

And if you're fast, and if you're lucky

You will never see that hangin' tree


Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain

Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin' for the names

And a man could use his back or use his brains

But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin' ever changed


Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton

He was workin' cheap, just buyin' time

And then he laughed and said I'm goin'

And so he left that peaceful life behind
