Verse 1
were two-bit crooks
crooks
They wanted to be famous
like you read in books
Shane had the brain and
hadn't got a clue
He'd end up likely at the
end of a noose
Which was fine by Shane if the papers
could use the story

neighbours complained
Shane was all over the walls like paint
Dixie looked bad but her heart

And she turned her back on a life of crime
And she married the man who

O the news of the screws
most generously gave
The money helped to pay
for Shane's new grave
And it looked so fine till
And hid Shane's grave
from the curious eye
And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told
