Текст пісні
When Tony came to town he'd been rambling all his life
But the time had come to build a home and find a wife
He met a girl and found a place to settle down
He tried his best to make the wheels keep turning round
But the times were hard and there was no work at the mills
And there was no way he could pay all his bills
As time went by he started working for a man
The man turned out to be the leader of a clan
In times of trouble, in times of violence
In times of evil, he walks in silence
In times of trouble, in times of sorrow
In times of trials, he lives for tomorrow
One night they called him up they said it couldn't wait
They told him this time he should bring his.38
Tony did his job and he didn't feel no shame
That night a man of honour he became
But when he lay in bed he couldn't get no sleep
That night he realized he'd gotten in too deep
They called him up again the money was real good
But this time it didn't turn out like it should
In times of trouble, in times of violence
In times of evil, he walks in silence
In times of trouble, in times of sorrow
In times of trials, he lives for tomorrow
The night was quiet and the night was dark
Until the gun was fired and the dogs began to bark
They found poor Tony just before the break of dawn
They found poor Tony lying dead upon the lawn
Now Tony's girl she cursed the leader of the clan
What have you done how could you do this to my man?
Go dig a grave way outside this dirty town
And play the death march as you lower him down
In times of trouble, in times of violence
In times of evil, he walks in silence
In times of trouble, in times of sorrow
In times of trials, he lives for tomorrow
