Rocky Mountain Belle Lyrics
Rocky Mountain Belle - Ramblin´ Jack Elliott
There's a story I will tell
About my rocky mountain Belle
She was everything to me my very life
We had smiles and we had tears
And for twenty seven years
She promised me someday she'd be my wife
With a ceremony plan
I had bought a wedding band
And invited all the neighbors to the farms
But the day we was to weed
I got tired and stayed in bed
Now the whole darn country side is up in arms
They're burning down the house I was brung up in
And they're yellowen come on out and take your bride
Yellow burning down the house I was brung up in
But what a fool I'd be to go outside
There's her pappy at the gate with a loaded thirty eight
And he's yellowen come on out before I shoot
Oh I wonder if he knows
I've got on his Sunday clothes
If he shoots at be goodbye to pappy's sure
They're burning down the house I was brung up in
And they're yellowen come on out and take your bride
Yellow burning down the house I was brung up in
But what a fool I'd be to go outside
