Love Is Stronger Than Justice (the Munificent Seven)
This is a story of seven brothers We had the same father but different
mothers We keep together like a family should Roaming the country for the
common good It came to pass one fateful day We found ourselves down
Mexico way The town, the mayor, the P.T.A. Pleading on their knees with
us all to stay
We'd only stopped for a few burritos But they told us
of the trouble with los banditos A poor little town in need of aid My
brothers and me had never been afraid The age of chivalry is not
dead Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed There'd be a bride for every
man Who chased away the evil gang Love is stronger than justice Love
is thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a
big fat river in flood
The outcome was predictable Our banditos were
despicable Of blood we lost a dozen litres A small price to pay for los
seoritas The town mayor was happy, but his face was glum The maidens
numbered only one There weren't seven brides for seven brothers I knew I
had to get rid of the others Love is stronger than justice Love is
thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a
big fat river in flood
Mother told me I was the clever one The
seventh son of a seventh son It all ended so happily I settled down with
the family I look forward to a better day But ethical stuff never got in
my way And though there used to be brothers seven The other six are
singing in heaven For love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than
blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river
in flood
Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than
blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river
in flood Love is a big fat river in flood
