early one days morning
|
i came upon a fine young horse
|
i mounted up and led him onward
|
he was gray as the sky above
|
as the sky above
|
|
i slept down by the river
|
and what a sad dream i had
|
i'm afraid my love
|
it must be true
|
today i will go and leave you
|
today i will be gone
|
|
i awoke and was surrounded
|
nine of the law stood before me
|
askin me my name and business
|
demanding proof of me
|
demanding proof of me
|
proof of me
|
|
what do you want from me
|
would you have me your prisoner
|
no but you must give us that horse
|
you must give us that roan gray horse
|
|
listen he aint for sale
|
never for the law to ride
|
if that should happen none would be safe
|
even the birds
|
even the birds
|
would be afraid to fly
|
|
so they ask again what was my name they ask again what was my name
|
two were dead before they could move
|
two were dead before they could move
|
thats my name
|
thats my name
|
if you please
|
thats my name
|
thats my name
|
if you please
|
