The Red Headed Stranger 歌詞
The Red Headed Stranger - John D. Loudermilk
The red headed stranger from blue rock montana
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 was asleep on the hillside
His heart was heavy as night
A yellow haired women leaned out of her window
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'
Was ridden when she was his wife
Don't cross him don't cross him
He's wild in his sorrow
Ridin' an' hidin' his pain
Just leave and montana
And mabe tomorrow
He'll ride on again
The yellow haired women wait down to the tavern
An' looked up the stranger there
He bought her a drink an' he gave her some money
He didn't seem to care
She followed him out as he saddled his stallion
She 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 cross him
He's wild in his sorrow
Ridin' an' hidin' his pain
Just leave and montana
And mabe tomorrow
He'll ride on again
The yellow haired women was buried at sunset
The stranger went free of course
For you can't hang a man for shot a woman
Who's tryin' to steal his horse
So his is the tale of the red headed stranger
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 lay a hand on the bay
