In the backwoods brush of Greenbrier County
Lives a man they call Thunder Dan
Nobody comes around in the hills above the town
'Cause they know of the mountain man
Thunder Dan
One day came a man with a Bible in his hand
Said, "Dan, here's what you're gonna do."
Old Dan shot him down, drug his body into town
He was back by the morning dew
Thunder Dan is a fighter, a lone outsider
If you cross him, he'll bring you down
Four dogs, five hogs, and a house made of logs
He lives thirty miles out of town
Thunder Dan
Sheriff Johnson screamed, "What an awful crime
To murder such a righteous man."
He said, "I know where to go, to the fishin' hole
Gonna see old Thunder Dan."
Thunder Dan
"Hey, Dan," said the sheriff, "Tell me, what do you know
About the murder of Preacher Brown?"
"He came a-preachin' to me, he told me what I oughta be
So I laid him down on that ground."
Thunder Dan is a fighter, a lone outsider
If you cross him, he'll bring you down
Four dogs, five hogs, and a house made of logs
He lives thirty miles out of town
Thunder Dan
"Forty years," said the man with a gavel in his hand
"Now take this wicked man away."
Old Dan spun around, shot the deputy down
Said, "It ain't gonna happen today."
Thunder Dan is a fighter, a lone outsider
If you cross him, he'll bring you down
Four dogs, five hogs, and a house made of logs
He lives thirty miles out of town
Thunder Dan is a fighter, a lone outsider
If you cross him, he'll bring you down
Four dogs, five hogs, and a house made of logs
He lives thirty miles out of town
Thunder Dan
