Tom: A7

A7
This is a story of seven brothers

We had the same father but different mothers

We keep together like a family should

Roaming the country for the common good.

It came to pass one fateful day

We found ourselves down Mexico way

The town, the mayor, the P.T.A.

Pleading on their knees with us all to stay.

We'd only stopped for a few burritos

But they told us of the trouble with Los Bandidos

A poor little town in need of aid

My brothers and me had never been afraid.

The age of chivalry is not dead

Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed

There'd be a bride for every man

Who chased away the evil gang.

Love, love, love is stronger than justice

Love is a big fat river in flood.

The outcome was predictable

Our Bandidos were despicable

Of blood we lost a dozen litres

A small price to pay for las se?oritas.

The town mayor was happy, but his face was glum

The maidens numbered only one

There weren't seven brides for seven brothers

I knew I had to get rid of the others.

Mother told me I was the clever one

The seventh son of a seventh son

It all ended so happily

I settled down with the family.

I look forward to a better day

But ethical stuff never got in my way

And though there used to be brothers seven

The other six are singing in heaven.
