Step up boys and listen to my song I'll sing it to your right but you might sing it wrong
All about a man named Otto but I can't tell you all but I wish I could
He walked in a pawn shop a rainy day And with the clerk he had a quarrel they say
Pulled out his pistol and struck him low And this is the way the story goes
Otto why didn't you run Otto's [D] done dead and gone
Otto why didn't you run The sheriff pulled out his .44
gun
They spread the news as fast as they could The sheriff served a warrant on Otto Wood
The jury said murder in the second degree And the judge passed a sentence to the penitentiary
It would have been the pen but it done no good It [E] wouldn't hold a man they call Otto [D] Wood
It wasn't very long until he slipped outside Drawn a gun on the guard said take him for a ride
Otto why didn't you run [B] Otto's done dead [D] and gone
Otto why didn't you run The sheriff pulled out his .44
gun
The second time they caught him was way out west In the [A] hold up game he got [D] shot through the breast
Brought him back and when he got well They locked him down in a dungeon cell
He was a man they could not run He always carried a .44
gun
He loved the women and he hated the law And he just wouldn't take nobody's jaw
Otto why didn't you run Otto's done dead and gone
Otto why didn't you run The sheriff pulled out his .44
gun
