| 作词 : Thompson | |
| Shane and Dixie they were two-bit crooks | |
| They wanted to be famous like you read in books | |
| Shane had the brain and Dxie had the looks for glory | |
| As a bank robber Shane really hadn't got a clue | |
| He'd end up likely at the end of a noose | |
| Which was fine by Shane if the papers could use the story | |
| CHORUS | |
| Fame and love, fame and love | |
| Fame and love will never die | |
| Shane said to Dixie, we're getting nowhere | |
| But I've a fine idea if you love me, swear | |
| We'll be household names if we only dare, forever | |
| Here's two bullets in my old carbine | |
| One is yours and the other is mine | |
| Then we'll be happy till the end of time together | |
| CHORUS | |
| She screams, she swears | |
| She tears her hair | |
| Saying, Shane this time | |
| You've lost your mind | |
| Shane took aim with the 16-bore | |
| And Dixie lay dying down there on the floor | |
| Shane was shaken but his purpose was more inspired | |
| Shane said, Lord what have I done | |
| But this victory is only halfway won | |
| Then he put the barrel underneath his tongue and fired | |
| CHORUS | |
| They found the bodies when the neighbours complained | |
| Shane was all over the walls like paint | |
| Dixie looked bad but her heart beat faint but surely | |
| Well they saved her life, they were just in time | |
| And she turned her back on a life of crime | |
| And she married the man who came to type out her story | |
| O the news of the screws most generously gave | |
| The money helped to pay for Shane's new grave | |
| And it looked so fine till the vandals sprayed it over | |
| Time went by and the weeds grew high | |
| And hid Shane's grave from the curious eye | |
| And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told her | |
| CHORUS |
