about

Music by Nils Ackermann Lyrics By Stevo and Joe Escalante
Silly but fun. The bulk of the lyrics were written by Stevo, with just a little input by Joe.
This song led to a lot of Skinheads showing up at our shows around the country. Some wanted to punch us. Some, just grateful for the mention, wanted to be our friends. Which was worse? It's hard to say.

lyrics

Now Mohawk John knew he did wrong
when he went and killed some men
They sent for the marshal to bring him in
they sent for Marshal Skin

He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knows that skinheads,
skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town

The sun was high and his mouth was dry
So he rolled up to the saloon
He ordered himself some red eye
he knew he'd meet John soon
Checked out all the Mohawks
sitting round the bar
He knew he found the Mohawk town
and John couldn't be too far

He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knowsthat skinheads,
,skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town

He walked out of the saloon
and there stood Mohawk John
He didn't have no time to speak
both guns had just been drawn
Now Mohawk John was quick
but Skin shot straight and fast
He put a slug right through his heart
and laid him on his back

He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knows that skinheads,
skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town
