Lyrics
I wished in my heart that he would just ride away, he cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest Tall, he cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest
I wished in my heart that he would just ride away, slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground
He must have forgotton i taught him to draw, born an outlaw
I met him at sunup, that night in silence the town was asleep Robbins, a tall handsome stranger rode into town
Waitin and watching for one to go down, he killed a guard on the sante fe line
He spread word around town that my time had come, born an outlaw
he must have forgotton i taught him to draw
Tryin his best, my notch was already carved on his gun
How mother will cry, he spread word around town that my time had come
I met him at sunup, i wished in my heart that he would just ride away
tryin his best
his coat open wide
He cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest, the blood that i spilled was just like my own Handsome, it s all a show for he knows i won t run
Waitin and watching for one to go down, the crowd gathered round, i wished in my heart that he would just ride away
His boots were all dusty, i hated to face him next sunup that day
He stood there a moment and looked all around, he s laughing and braggin and having his fun
slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground
Born an outlaw, my notch was already carved on his gun
My notch was already carved on his gun, his boots were all dusty, he must have forgotton i taught him to draw
the whole town was waiting and i was alone
when she hears this story
i met him at sunup
it s all a show for he knows i won t run
The whole town was waiting and i was alone, my notch was already carved on his gun
his boots were all dusty
waitin and watching for one to go down
i sent him to prison to pay for his crime
I sat by my window and looked down the street, tryin his best Tall, he spread word around town that my time had come
It s all a show for he knows i won t run, how mother will cry
He stood there a moment and looked all around, born an outlaw Tall, the whole town was waiting and i was alone
i hated to face him next sunup that day
The whole town was waiting and i was alone, waitin and watching for one to go down, i sat by my window and looked down the street
Waitin and watching for one to go down, how mother will cry
I hated to face him next sunup that day, the crowd gathered round
The whole town was waiting and i was alone, he cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest
My notch was already carved on his gun, he cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest, slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground
The crowd gathered round, his boots were all dusty, he spread word around town that my time had come
He s laughing and braggin and having his fun, the blood that i spilled was just like my own
How mother will cry, he must have forgotton i taught him to draw, he grabbed for his six gun
six ways of dying hung low on his side
His boots were all dusty, my notch was already carved on his gun
A tall handsome stranger rode into town, he cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest, my notch was already carved on his gun
a tall handsome stranger rode into town
The blood that i spilled was just like my own, i sat by my window and looked down the street, he went in the town hall asking for me they told him that i was still town deputy
He must have forgotton i taught him to draw, he grabbed for his six gun
the whole town was waiting and i was alone
that night in silence the town was asleep
