Rafferty’s Revenge 		Doug Folkins © 2003

In Bainbridge town the walls came down
And peace ruled for a time anyway
And Rafferty was a tavern keep
Till a band of rouges came and drink his wine 
And took his wife (singing)

Chorus
“Tie Rafferty Down”
Don’t let him make a sound
The winds my blow and the trees may grow
But tie Rafferty down boys

When I looked in the eyes of a son not mine
Rage like chills crawled up my spine
There’s not a day goes by that I don’t wake to  my revenge
My boy and I and a rusty knife
Travelled a trail as cold as ice
In hopes to put the fear of God in those devil’s eyes  (who sang)

Well hold on steady my son
The work here is almost done
I can’t wait to see the fear on their faces
Well hold on steady my son

Some men from town
Said they could be found 
Far to the South in a burned out church on Holy ground
When Rafferty came to lay his blame
Those sleeping demons never heard a thing 
And they went up in flames (singing)
