Lyrics

Poison Water
Words by Larry Rosler
Music by Peter Link

[Doc]
Lord, you know I tried
Did my very best
To turn the other cheek
As you suggest
But love your enemy’s a hard request
When he’s reaching for his gun

Here I go again
And it makes me sad
To say goodbye
To all the dreams we had
So how did something good
Turn out so bad
Take a look at what we’ve done

Poisoned the water
Poisoned the water
Look at us now
We’ve poisoned the water
Poisoned water
Full of waste
Let them come and get a taste
Of poison water

[Tom]
Mother of mercy-

[Doc]
Relax, Tom. Just relax. We don’t want to wake the lady.

[Tom]
But I’m unarmed. You know China Mary don’t allow no guns in her rooms. You ain’t gonna shoot an unarmed man, are ya? Are ya?

[Doc]
I’m here to extend an invitation: you meet me later today, and we’ll settle the score for all time.

[Morgan]
Virg, what they done to Kate ain’t right.

[Virgil]
And what they do to one of us, they do to all.

[Morgan]
We should end it now

[Virgil]
We should do it quick
And when we do it, dammit, make it stick

[Morgan]
A little piece of lead should do the trick

[Virgil]
That’s the gospel truth my son

[Tom]
Gentlemen, this time Doc Holliday has called out the wrong man.

[Ike]
The wrong house, Tom, the wrong house.

[Frank]
Turn your back on wolves
This is what you git

[Ike]
You touch a rattlesnake
And you get bit

[Tom & Ike]
The talking’s over now we finish it
Take a look at what they’ve done

[Clantons, McLaurys, Morgan & Virgil]
Poisoned the water
Poisoned the water
Look at them now
They’ve poisoned the water
Poisoned water
Full of waste
Let them come and get a taste
Of poison water

[Wyatt]
You hear that?

[Wyatt]
It’s the sound of hearts beatin’ faster right before a kill. I love that sound. I’ll round up the boys, Doc. Don’t be long.

[Kate]
Doc, it’s not too late
Not for us
Cause I know
We can make it, Doc
Please don’t go
What of all those dreams
Of getting out
Cutting ties

[Woman in Black]
They were only pretty lies
Just a pack of pretty lies

[Kate]
I ain’t going to bury you. If you go down there, I gotta walk out on you.

[Doc]
I have no choice, Kate.

[Woman in Black]
See the minute hand
Moving on the clock
Too late to close the door
And turn the lock
It’s what you wanted
Are you ready, Doc?

[Earps]
Yeah, today they’re gonna pay

[Clantons & McLaurys]
Yeah, today they’re gonna pay

[All]
At a place they call OK
Cause they
Poisoned the water
Poisoned the water
We know just who poisoned the water
Poisoned water’s got to kill
Let them come and drink their fill
Of poisoned water

Let the water go
Let that poison flow
