It's A Quiet Town (In Crossbone County) Lyrics

Quiet!
Quiet!
Shhh!
Shhh!

It's a quiet town here in Crossbone County
It's as quiet here as a burying ground
You can settle down here in Crossbone County
Anyone will build you a permanent mound

They measure you for size here
Coughin'
Everybody dies here
Often
If you plan to get much older
Keep your eye behind your shoulder
Quiet!
This is a quiet town

Howdy, my little prairie flower, howdy!
Well, howdy, stranger
Uh, how's about you and me treatin' to a sarsaparilly
And maybe we can find one of them there hoedowns?
Well now, we can't do that here
Well, why not?
Well, this is a quiet town
Oh

It's a quiet town here in Crossbone County
Where you only hear an occasional noise
Everyone is friends so expect some horseplay
They may shoot you dead but they're wonderful boys

Saloon is where they linger steady
With a trigger finger ready
Firewater, very risky
One free snake with every whiskey
Quiet!
This is a quiet town

-Snoring
-Whistling

It's a quiet town here in Crossbone County
It's as quiet here as a burying ground
You can settle down here in Crossbone County
Anyone will build you a permanent mound

He's headed for the border
Is he?
We'll keep law and order
Busy
Once we had some vigilantes
They got too big for their panties

Quiet!
This is a quiet town
