Two men have quarreled, so two men will fight
Oh, stop them before it's too late
Lord, stop them from doing this terrible thing
For the sake of two women who wait
Or one of us will weep tonight
One of won't sleep tonight
One of us will walk forth tomorrow
Out of a happy life
Into a lonely life
Wearing the black dress of sorrow
Out in the street now they reach for their guns
Please stop them before it's too late
But a bullet rings out and the pain can be felt
In the hearts of two women that wait
One of us will weep tonight
One of us won't sleep tonight
One of us will walk forth tomorrow
One of us a happy life
One of us a lonely life
Wearing the black dress of sorrow
Wearing the black dress of sorrow
