|
The cowboy was drunk and braggin'
|
He told her he had a wagon
|
A wagon filled up with gold that he'd stole
|
And then covered all over with hay
|
She cried when she learned what he'd done that day
|
The girl who loved the man who robbed the bank
|
At Santa Fe and got away
|
|
Please take it all back she pleaded
|
Said his love was all she needed
|
But he said, "I only did it for you
|
So don't you look at me that way."
|
Because she loved him so, she said okay
|
The girl who loved the man who robbed the bank
|
At Santa Fe and got away
|
|
But that night while she lay in the arms of her man
|
He talked in his sleep and she discovered his plan
|
He talked in his sleep and gave himself away
|
When he talked of another girl waiting in San Jose
|
With the same loving hands that thrilled him
|
She picked up his gun and killed him
|
She killed him and threw his gold dust all over his body
|
Right there where it lay
|
She was the only mourner there that prayed
|
The girl who shot the man who robbed the bank
|
At Santa Fe and got away
|
