A horse rode in to town today with no rider on his back
Dried blood caked to his saddle, the rattle of coins coming from his pack
The horse was proud but nervous as the townsfolk did approach
And when he saw our sheriffs face well I swear it was like he seen a ghost
He reared up on his hind legs then he whinnied and he fled
One of the men cried "Thats Costellos horse, he runnin like he seen the dead"
We mounted up and gave chase just about as fast we could
But when we got to Costellos place well we didn't find things as we should

Let me tell you its a hard, its a cold, it's a cruel old world
It's a hard, cold cruel world

The first thing I saw was Costellos wife and she was swinging in the high noon
At her feet lay two young boys taken manys a year too soon
The herd of cattle lay dead on the ground, not a bird dare mar the sky
Not a man among us could make a sound as we listened to a lonely cry
I heard that cry blowing through the plains down the holler and out the creek
And a fear rose up there in my chest, seized my heart and I could not breathe
Until a shot rang out from across the ranch and silenced that lonesome cry
I saw the devil step out into the open shouting "Hey boys it's time to die"

Let me tell you its a hard, it's a cold, its a cruel old world
It's a hard, cold cruel world.

I aint afraid to say that I'm not brave, I turned on my horse and fled
"Old Costellos surely fucked now boys I sure as shit dont fancy joining him dead"
But none of the posse had turned with me
I looked back to see them drawing their guns
And the devil stood there all aflame silhouetted in the raging sun.
I rode the whole way back to town with the shots ringin in my head
And though I heard a few dozen rounds fired I knew all my posse lay dead
"The devil has come, the devil has come" Through the streets I ranted and I raved
And folks could hear it in my voice, there was truth in the words I said

Let me tell you its a hard, its a cold, its a cruel old world
It's a hard, cold cruel world.

A preacher was called and he came to me saying son tell me what has transpired
I looked the man of god in the eye and I knew he was nothin but a liar
The devil has come, the devil has come, hes laying waste to all in his path
So kneel and pray or go and f*ck yourself cuz henceforth this way comes death

Let me tell you its a hard, its a cold, its a cruel old world
It's a hard, cold cruel world

Years later in a dusty old town far from the Holler the plains or the creek
I lay in bed with the good Lords book and upon me a fear did sneak
Whats that noise I hear in the night? It's a sound I know all too well
It's that lonesome cry from years ago and it's coming from the belly of hell

Let me tell you its a hard, its a cold, its a cruel old world
It's a hard, cold cruel world
