Looking back a long long time to the U.S. civil war
Puncheons man were on [bad word] from the carpetbaggers law
But then from all around from the victors evil lies
Put a ransom on all of their heads, for everyone to die

They were Outlaws
Never vowed to the blue
In the civil war the Southern flag they flew
Outlaws, never vowed to the blue
In the civil war to the South they were [bad word] 
When the war was finally done never dropped a Southern flag
Many hunters everywhere wanted to take an outlaw back
Even it was ordeal as Contreau’s men rode by
It was always near to them and they had to ride or die

They were Outlaws
Never vowed to the blue
In the civil war the Southern flag they flew
Outlaws, never vowed to the blue
In the civil war to the South they were [bad word] 
Outlaws riding on Confederate flags they fly
Death following at their heels they knew they had to die
Destiny the tombstones never asked the reason why
They live forever those great riders in the sky

They were Outlaws
Never vowed to the blue
In the civil war the Southern flag they flew
Outlaws, never vowed to the blue
In the civil war to the South they were [bad word]
