All around the campfire stood seven dusty men The cook was drinking applejack, the cattle were all penned Someone must have cracked a wise one because the men began to grin Their smiles shot out like sunbeams and made the night give in
Because Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time
Roy and Dale and Pecos Bill they knew all about this So did Walt and Hasui who gave it their own twist Sometimes, when things can't get much worse, life's become a fist Someone will crack a wise one, laughter works like this
Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time
Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it in the first place And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time
Laugh kills lonesome Laugh kills lonesome Laugh kills lonesome every single time
