lyrics

Leroy Baylor was a shrewd fabricator of a whiskey tailored
to the tastes of honest men outside the law
But the state of Colorado, turned and squared away to battle
with those men who wrangle cattle on the land their fathers conquered once for all

There's a long arm growing
So far it's out of mind
Like a cancer destroying
A woman in her prime

Angelina Walters was a dry farmer's daughter with a sixth sense
for stealing every dollar from the rich of the Bastille
When Leroy found her body it was busted bruised unsightly,
left abandoned by the road cold and her cries for help met only his appeal

There's a long arm growing
So far it's out of mind
Like a cancer destroying
A woman in her prime

Hail, father Morgan
Please be my confessor
A phalanx of soldiers
Marching to our door
And if they seem like a family friend
Or dress like a fireman
Please don't let them in
And if they sing country 'tis of thee
Or offer you hemlock tea
Please don't let them in
Don't let them in, don't let them in
Don't let them in

Surrounded in Durango Leroy struck a novel angle
learned from studying the night moves of a woman he once knew but never saw
Though she'd long ago passed over she unfolded ancient stories
of how the righteous won their glory liberating holy women from the fall

There's a long arm growing
So far it's out of mind
Like a cancer destroying
A woman in her prime

And if they seem like a family friend
Or dress like a fireman
Please don't let them in
And if they sing country 'tis of thee
Or offer you hemlock tea
Please don't let them in
Don't let them in, don't let them in
Don't let them in, don't let them in
Don't let them in
