Everyone considered him the coward of the county --
heand'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
his mama named him tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
something always told me they were reading tommy wrong.
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison;
i looked after tommy, and'cause he was my brotherand's son.
i still recall the final words my brother said to tommy,
andquot;son my life is over, but yours has just begunandquot;.
Chorus:
andquot;promise me, son, not to do the things iand've done --
walk away from trouble if you can.
it wonand't mean youand're weak if you turn the other cheek
i hope youand're old enough to understand,
son, you donand't have to fight to be a man.andquot;
Thereand's someone for everyone, and tommyand's love was becky.
in her arms he didnand't have to prove he was a man.
one day while he was working, the gatlin boys came calling --
they took turns at becky, nand'there was three of them).
Tommy opened up the door, and saw becky crying.
the torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
he reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddyand's picture.
as his tears fell on his daddyand's face, he heard these words again:
Repeat chorus
The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom;
one of them got up and met him half way cross the floor.
when tommy turned around they said, andquot;hey look! old yellerand's leaving,andquot;
but you couldand've heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and locked the door.
Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him.
he wasnand't holding nothing back -- he let and'em have it all.
when tommy left the bar room, not a gatlin boy was standing.
he said, andquot;this oneand's for becky, as he watched the last one fall. (nand' i
heard him say,)
andquot;i promised you, dad, not to do the things youand've done
i walk away from trouble when i can
now please donand't think iand'm weak, i didnand't turn the other cheek,
and papa, i should hope you understand --
sometimes you gotta fight when youand're a manandquot;.
Everyone considered him the coward of the county.
Todos le consideraban el cobarde del condado -
heand'd nunca tuvo ni una sola vez para probar el condado equivocado.
su mamá lo llamó Tommy, pero la gente simplemente lo llamó amarillo,
algo que siempre me dijo que estaban leyendo tommy mal.
Sólo tenía diez años cuando su padre murió en la cárcel;
yo me ocupaba de tommy, and'cause que era hijo de mi brotherand es.
Todavía recuerdo las últimas palabras que dijo mi hermano a Tommy,
andquot, el hijo de mi vida ha terminado, pero la tuya ha begunandquot;.
Coro:
andquot, me prometo, hijo, no para hacer las cosas iand've hecho -
alejarse de problemas si se puede.
es decir wonand't youand're débil si la otra mejilla
Espero youand're edad suficiente para comprender,
hijo, donand't tienen que luchar para ser un man.andquot;
Alguien Thereand es para todos, y el amor tommyand era Becky.
en sus brazos que didnand't tiene que probar que él era un hombre.
un día mientras estaba trabajando, los muchachos Gatlin fue llamada -
se turnaron a Becky, nand'there era de tres de ellos).
Tommy abrió la puerta, y vio a Becky llorando.
el vestido desgarrado, la mirada destrozada fue más de lo que podía soportar.
llegó por encima de la chimenea
