Zeb Turney's Gal

Key of G

Verse 1

Down in the Tennessee mountains
Away from the sins of the world
Old Dan Kelley's son, there he leaned on his gun
A-thinkin' of Zeb Turney's girl
Dan was a hot blooded youngster
His pap raised him sturdy and right
And he was all sworn
From the day he was born
To shoot every Turney on sight

Verse 2

Powder and shot for the Turneys
Don't save a hair on their heads
Old Dan Kelley cried as he lay down and died
With young Danny there by his bed
Dan took the vow to his daddy
And swore he would kill everyone
His heart in a whirl for the girl
He loaded his double barrel gun

Verse 3

The moon shinin' down on the mountains
The moon shinin' down on the still
Young Dan took a sip
Swung a gun to his hip
And set out to slaughter and kill
Over the mountains he wandered
This son of a Tennessee man
With fire in his eye
And his gun at his thigh
A-lookin' for Zeb Turney's clan

Verse 4

Shots ringing out through the mountains
Shots ringing out through the breeze
Old Dan Kelley's son with the smoke in his gun
The Turneys all down on their knees
The story of Dan Kelley's has spread far and wide o'er the world
How Dan killed the clan
Shot 'em down to the man
And brought back old Zeb Turney's girl
