The chief went down to halo

Original song by the Charlie Daniels band

The Chief went down to Halo
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a gun and shootin' it hot
And the Chief jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what

Now you shoot a pretty good gun, boy
But give the Chief his due
I'll bet a gun of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you

The boy said my name's Keys
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

The Chief opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his Clip

Then he pulled the Clip across the gun
And it made a sic evil hiss
And a band of gurnts joined in
And it sounded something like this

Instrumental

When the chief finished
keys said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The chiefs's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

Instrumental

The Chief bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden gun
On the ground and keys's feet

Keys said, Chief just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been

And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no
