This seems to be quite different from the lyrics in the database, and the database doesn't have a tune.

BRADY
(from "American Songbag," by Carl Sandburg, 1927)

Version A (from Geraldine Smith)
Down in St Louis at 12th and Carr
Big Bill Brady was a-tendin' bar;
In came Duncan with a star on his chest
Duncan says, "Brady you're under arrest."
Brady -- why didn't you run?
Brady – you should a-run!
Brady -- why didn't you run?
When you seen Black Duncan with his gatling gun?

Version B (from R.W. Gordon collection)
Duncan and his brother was playing pool
When Brady came in acting a fool;
He shot him once, he shot him twice,
Saying, "I don't make my living by shooting dice!"

Brady won't come no more!
Brady won't come no more!
Brady won't come no more!
For Duncan shot Brady with a forty-four!

"Brady, Brady, don't you know you done wrong
To come in to my house when my game was going on?
I told you half a dozen times before,
And now you lie dead on my barroom floor!"

Brady went to hell lookin' mighty curious,
the devil says, "Where you from?" "East St. Louis."
"Well, pull off your coat and step this way,
For I've been expecting you every day!"

When the girls heard Brady was dead
They went up home and put on red,
And came down town singin' this song –
"Brady's struttin' in hell with his Stetson on!

"Brady, where you at?
Brady, where you at?
Brady, where you at?
Struttin' in hell with his Stetson hat!"
