Red-Headed Stranger 歌詞

Red-Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson (威利·納爾遜)

Rode into town one day

 

And under his knees was a ragin' black stallion

And walkin' behind was a bay

 

The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder

 

And his lips they were sad and tight

 

His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside

 

And his heart was heavy as night

 

Don't cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow:

He's ridin' an' hidin his pain

 

Don't fight him don't spite him;

Just wait till tomorrow

 

Maybe he'll ride on again

 

A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window

 

An' watched as he passed her way

 

She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion

But cast greedy eyes on the bay

 

But how could she know that this dancin' bay pony

 

Meant more to him than life

 

For this was the horse that his little lost darlin'

 

Had ridden when she was his wife

 

Don't cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow:

 

He's ridin' an' hidin his pain

 

Don't fight him don't spite him;

Just wait till tomorrow

 

Maybe he'll ride on again

 

The yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern

 

An' looked up the stranger there

 

He bought her a drink an' he gave her some money

He just didn't seem to care

 

She followed him out as he saddled his stallion

 

An' laughed as she grabbed at the bay

 

He shot her so quick they had no time to warn her

She never heard anyone say:

 

Don't cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow:

He's ridin' an' hidin his pain

 

Don't fight him don't spite him;

Just wait till tomorrow

 

Maybe he'll ride on again "

 

The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset;

The stranger went free of course

 

For you can't hang a man for killin' a woman

Who's tryin' to steal your horse

 

Tthis is the tale of the red headed stranger

 

And if he should pass your way

 

Stay out of the path of the ragin' black stallion

 

And don't lay a hand on the bay

 

Don't cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow:

He's ridin' an' hidin his pain

 

Don't fight him don't spite him;

Just wait till tomorrow

 

 

Maybe he'll ride on again
