Lyrics

His name was William Cooper Smith
From Fort Smith, Arkansas
He rode the wild west Texas hills
The right hand of the law
Well, Willie was an honest man
He lived his life alone
He wore a silver star with pride
He was faithful to a code
Well, the road is long and winding
From the cradle to the grave
When the good Lord finally calls you
All you take is your name
Well, Marshal William Cooper Smith
Was justice through and through
Jury, judge and hangman
He was a graveside preacher too
He tried to walk his righteous path
While dispensing peace
Dispatching crooks and ne'er-do-wells
And murderers and thieves
Well, the road is long and winding
From the cradle to the grave
When the good Lord finally calls you
All you take is your name
Well, Marshal William Cooper Smith
Went crazy playing God
So much blood had soiled his name
And he feared that his soul was lost
So one night beneath the Texas stars
He counted up the dead
Asked the Lord's forgiveness
And put a bullet through his head
Well, the road is long and winding
From the cradle to the grave
When the good Lord finally calls you
All you take is your name
All you take is your name
