May the best man win
May the best man win
May the best man win
Way out West, a rich, old man
had two such different sons
Eli spoke with Bible raised,
and Billy spoke with guns
Daddy Bloodshy left a will,
and Eli said, "That's fair"
But Billy said, "No, let's fight it out
So I can get your share"
May the best man win
May the best man win
May the best man win
The mayor said, "Folks, let's work it out
by setting up a race"
And everyone said, "Poor preacher man
He'll fall right on his face"
Eli was a city boy, and Billy knew the land
"Please don't go", the schoolmarms begged
But Eli took a stand
May the best man win
May the best man win
May the best man win
When they meet
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet
When they meet
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet on that street
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet
Hot lead and cold feet hot lead and cold feet
Hot lead and cold feet hot lead and cold feet
May the best man win
May the best man win
May the best man win
Daddy Bloodshy left a will, and Eli said, "That's fair"
But Billy said, "No, let's fight it out
So I can get your share"
May the best man win
May the best man win
May the best man win
When they meet
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet
When they meet
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet on that street
lt'll be like hot lead and cold feet
Hot lead and cold feet, hot lead and cold feet
Hot lead and cold feet
Hot lead and cold fe-e-e-et
