The song by the Eagles is about the Doolin-Dalton gang of the old wild west. It first appeared in their 1973 concept album Desperado. They were doolin’, doolin’-dalton High or low, it was the same Easy money, and faithless women Red eye whiskey for the pain. Go down little dalton, it must be God’s will Two brothers lyin’ dead in Coffeeville. Two voices call to you from where they stood, “Lay down your law books now, they’re no damn good.“ Better keep on movin’, doolin’-dalton Till your shadow sets you free. And if you’re fast, and if you’re lucky, You will never see that hangin’ tree. Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin’ for the names
