Twinkle, twinkle, electric star, [F#] Yonder goes Brady on electric car,
Making his way to the freedom line, [B] He's gonna kill him a sucker [F#] like a [B] bulldozer,
Been on the job [B] too long.
Brady was a whacker on the telephone wire, [F#] Long come Duncan with a shining star,
Looked old Brady right through the flack, He [B] says there's no use in [G#] talking, Brady's
getting [B] your jack, Been [A#] on the job too long.
[E]
[F#] [B]
Brady replied and he answered no, [F#] Duncan showed him a slide, said this never before,
Says now Brady you're running your ass, [B] Old Duncan shot [F#] a hole through [B] Brady's chest,
Been on the job too long.
Brady had a little twenty-five, [F#] He loved man about a half a mile,
Duncan had a big forty-four, [B] When he laid old Brady [F#] in the [B] barroom door,
Cause he's been [F#] on the job [B] too long.

[F#] [B]
Early in the morning, just about [F#] nine, Causes in the hikes all fun be lying,
White and the black all gathered around, [B] He's gonna take Mr.
Brady to the bayonet,
Been on the job too long.

[B] Brady went to hell with a crutch and his arm, [F#] Said Mr.
Devil well I ain't here long,
Devil says it is just this way, Well [B] there's never been a [G#] sucker here that ever got [B] away,
Been on [F#] the [B] job too long.
