MIm SOL
I was out in the wild - Trying to catch some supper
MIm SOL
And bring it home to sweet mama
MIm SOL
But when the pony headed back to our home valley..
MIm SOL
I knew I'd been gone too long
C Em/H Am
And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I reached home just afer dark, looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land
So I kicked the frontdoor open, saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman
And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
MIm SOL
I chased him through Arkansas, from Texas to Missouri
MIm SOL
From Saint Antoine up north to Saint Louis
MIm SOL
He was haunted, but I had the time
MIm SOL
I wanted him back to the scene of the crime
And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died
Well, we reached Rock River and we reached the other side
He looked back, kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger and I hit him right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama to the roaches & the flys
