THE DAY THAT CURLY BILLY SHOT DOWN CRAZY SAM MCGEE As recorded by The Hollies (From the 1974 Album HOLLIES) [Intro] [1st Verse] Big tall man standing in the street Gun hanging on by his side Just one man that he’d like to meet That’s when I began to hide [2nd Verse] I recognized him from the face of his son The hate in his eye didn’t lie And what I did can’t be undone Borrowed time there’s none to buy [3rd Verse] Well I hid around the back of a derelict shack Ain’t looking for a mad showdown But he was smart he’d already checked A week in advance I’d paid down [4th Verse] Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man The job he had it didn’t pay He told all about what happened that night There he is that’s the one’s all he’d say [Chorus] Well all the people were Running jumping even thumping On my bad neighbor’s doors Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was Crying sighing Sam McGee’s dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly He’s gonna shoot your sheriff down [Interlude] [5th Verse] Big tall man standing in the street Now a hand hovering ready to slide Drew out his gun it wasn’t for fun Let me in there’s nowhere to hide [6th Verse] Well I made my play but it wasn’t my day I felt the ripping lead That’s when I knew my time was through Rest in peace were the last words he said [Chorus] Well all the people were Running jumping even thumping On my bad neighbor’s doors Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was Crying sighing Sam McGee’s dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly He’s gonna shoot your sheriff down [Out-Chorus] Well all the people were Running jumping even thumping On my bad neighbor’s doors Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was Crying sighing Sam McGee’s dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly He’s gonna shoot your sheriff down Running jumping even thumping On my bad neighbor’s doors Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was Crying sighing Sam McGee’s dying

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui se cache alors qu’un tireur dangereux, Curly Billy, traîne dans les rues, cherchant à régler ses comptes avec Sam McGee. Ce dernier est dans une situation délicate, encerclé par la colère de Billy, ce qui installe une atmosphère de tension grandissante. Les habitants, pris de panique, se précipitent vers des refuges pour échapper à la confrontation violente qui se profile. Le contexte se situe dans une petite ville où la loi et l'ordre semblent s'effondrer, laissant les gens dans la peur et l'incertitude. C'est une scène de conflit et de désespoir, illustrant les conséquences tragiques des ressentiments personnels. Les personnages sont pris dans un cercle vicieux de violence, ce qui donne une profondeur dramatique à cette histoire.
