Otis Miller (Chanson)[]
Otis Miller was a lad that killed many a man,
He robbed the Lanahechee train,
But that cowardly killer that shot Mr. Miller, has laid old Otis in his grave.
Poor Otis had a wife to mourn for his life,
Three children, and they were brave,
Well that cowardly killer that shot Mr. Miller
He laid poor Otis in his grave.
It was Charlie Tatum, that dirty little coward,
I wonder how he does feel,
For he ate of Otis' bread and he slept in Otis' bed,
And he laid poor Otis in his grave.
Otis was a man, a friend to the poor,
He'd never see a man suffer pain,
And with his brother Frank he robbed the Blackwater bank,
And stopped the Glendale train.
Poor Otis had a wife to mourn for his life,
Three children, and they were brave,
But that cowardly killer that shot Mr. Miller
He laid poor Otis in his grave.
It's Saturday night and Otis wasn't home,
Out talking with his family grave,
And Charlie Tatum came along like a thief in the night
And laid old Otis in his grave.
Now the people held their breath when they heard of Otis' death,
And wondered how he ever came to die
It was one of the gang called Little Charlie Tatum,
That shot old Otis on the sly.
Poor Otis had a wife to mourn for his life,
Three children, and they were brave,
But that cowardly killer that shot Mr. Miller
He laid poor Otis in his grave.
