One Hour Ahead Of The Posse - Sam Cooke (山姆·库克)

One hour ahead of the posse

The bloodhounds are hot on my trail

Last night I shot my sweetheart

This morning I broke out of jail

My Pinto is tired and hungry

And I'm feeling weary and warm

We started ahead of the posse

And we got to keep going on

The sherrif aswored he would get me

He's riding with 20 and 5

But I'm not afeared of that posse

They never will get me alive

One hour ahead of the posse

No turning to left or to right

We must win the race to the river

Or there'll be a hanging tonight

One hour ahead of the posse

No time for remorse or regret

But somehow her eyes still haunt me

Her laughter is taunting me yet

It started the night that we might

She kissed me and vowed she would care

I traded the gold in pocket

To fondle the curls in her hair

She lied when she told me she loved me

She lied with each kiss that she gave

She lied to the moment I caught her

And now she lies still in her grave

On hour ahead of the posse

The night is a-coming on fast

We must win the race to the rio

And well shake that old posse at last

We're nearing the end of our journey

And now I'm inside of my goal

At last we've beaten the posse

May the Lord have mercy on my soul

May the Lord have mercy on my soul
