The Queens Justice
J C Munro
Chorus:
I am the Queen's man,
Between anarchy and order I am bound to stand
When the rebels time has come
I will finish each and every one
And sleep easy in my bed
My duty done
Once
I lived beyond the borders of the law
Now they've given me a musket and a bayonet to draw
And every time the order comes I feel the anger grow
And only vengeance helps me cleanse the past
That will not let me go
Chorus
When
the sergeant falls us in at break of day
I fix my steel and I steel my gaze
And I march to the stockade
I dispense the course of justice humbling men before their wives
Because they must learn like I did that the rules must rule our
lives
Chorus
And
I've learned how not to think and not to feel
As I pull them up at gunpoint in the mud and make them kneel
And if one beating doesn't yield their card or two or even three
Then I drag them pleading, bleeding and I chain them to a tree
Chorus
