Lyrics:
- Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star
- Up comes Brady in a 'lectric car
- Got a mean look all 'round his eye
- Gonna shoot somebody jus' to see them die
- Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar
- In walked Brady with a shining star
- And Brady says, "Duncan you are under arrest"
- And Duncan shot a hole in Brady's breast
- Brady, Brady carried a .45,
- Said it would shoot half a mile
- Duncan had a .44
- That what laid Mr. Brady so low
- Brady fell down on the barroom floor,
- "Please Mr. Duncan don' shoot me no more"
- Women all cryin', ain't it a shame,
- Shot King Brady, goin' shoot him again
- "Brady, Brady, Brady, you know you done wrong
- Walkin' in the room when the game was goin' on
- Knockin' down windows, breakin' down the door
- Now you lyin' dead on the grocery [barroom] floor
- Women all heard that Brady was dead,
- Goes back home and they dresses in red
- Come a sniffin' and a sighin' down the street,
- In their big mother hubbards and their stockin' feet
- 'Cause he been on the job too long
