Anarkilopólis

Anarkilopolis

I was in the city buying corn for the chickens
When a boy came running to warn me
That the mail coach had left a letter for me
A letter? Whose crap would that be? Well, then
Oh, it was from the Anarkilopolis city hall
Inviting me to a party for its emancipation, ok boy

I'm going to drink a lot of whiskey
And do everything I want to do
Everyone minds their own business
That's why the people there are happy
That's it! My son, that's it

I got on my silver-mule
And set off with the firm purpose
Of combining business with pleasure
Because Anarkilopolis was also
The birthplace of my beloved
The beautiful Josefina Lee
Only daughter of my friend
Sheriff James Adean
While the mule kept braying
I kept singing along the road
I'm not stupid to show off as a hero

I'm vaccinated, I'm a cowboy, an outlaw cowboy
Durango Kid only exists in comics
And whoever wants can stay here
Entering history is up to you

When my mule and I arrived in Anarkilopolis
I thought I had mistaken the city
There were some tough-looking guys armed to the teeth
I quickly realized the situation
The bandits had taken over the place
And kept everyone as hostages
James Adean was no longer the Sheriff
And all you could see on people's faces was sadness and fear

God forbid, I almost got into trouble
Finger on the trigger was the law

Alone and unarmed I was there
To hell with those who called me here
It was then
It's under control cowboy!
