hairy is right, of course. Famous outlaws of The Dalton Gang, the leader being Robert Dalton, they were only around for 2 years or so, and were killed in a local rebellion to foil a plan of theirs to rob a bank in Coffeyville. I've been listening to this song for a while, and I recently read about these outlaws and realised what this song was about, haha.
