CWell, it was early that mornin'

When Kathy's brother stepped in the street.

Johnny just stood there waiting,

Starin' at his feet.

Then in his mind he said a prayer,

Cried Kathleen as he fell,

And the message on his tombstone reads,

"He took that bullet well."

GTooraloora Tooralai,

And here's to Kathy's brother,

 Who pEmut ya in the ground.
