Song language: English
Outlaw Pete |
| He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail |
| At six months old he’d done three months in jail |
| Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet |
| All he said was «Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete.» |
| I’m Outlaw Pete! |
| I’m Outjaw Pete! |
| Can you hear me? |
| At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal |
| And they rode around and 'round on heaven’s wheel |
| Father Jesus, I’m an outlaw killer and a thief |
| And I slowed down on Lee and I saw my grief |
| I’m Outlaw Pete! |
| I’m Outlaw Pete! |
| Can you hear me? |
| They cut his trail of tears across the countryside |
| And where he went, when he wept and died |
| One night he woke from a vision of his own death |
| Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West |
| Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res |
| And as the smooth? |
| fairy? |
| he held that beautiful daughter to his chest |
| I’m Outlaw Pete! |
| I’m Outlaw Pete! |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan |
| His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man |
| He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the? |
| He said, «Pete, you think you’ve changed, but you have not.» |
| He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him? |
| let it start? |
| He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart |
| Dan smiled as he layed in his own blood dying in the sun |
| And whispered in Pete’s ear, «We cannot undue these things we’ve done.» |
| You’re Outlaw Pete! |
| You’re Outlaw Pete! |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop |
| Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top |
| He watched the hawk on a desert ?? |
| slip and slide |
| Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his bony side |
| Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge |
| Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge |
| The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair |
| And braids a piece of Pete’s buckskin chaps into her hair |
| Outlaw Pete! |
| OutJaw Pete! |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
| Can you hear me? |
