He was riding out of Texas 
On a hot and sunny day 
When he came across an outlaw 
Who was passing by his way

He recognised the outlaw 
From a poster that he’d seen
Evil look on his face
Eyes that looked real mean
Eyes that looked real mean

The outlaw knew he’d seen him
Went quickly for his gun
Swore on his dying breath 
He was blinded by the sun

But the marshal had outdrawn him
In a fight, he knew was fair
And the killer who lay dying 
Was not blinded by the glare
Not blinded by the glare

He loaded up the outlaw
And took him back to town
He explained to the townsfolk
How the man tried to gun him down

The outlaw knew he’d been seen
Went quickly for his gun
And as he lay there dying
He blamed it on the sun

He blamed it on the sun
He blamed it on the sun
He blamed it on the sun
