Cowboy Movie |
| Me and my good partners |
| We were riding back to our camp |
| We were feeling very fine |
| And the air was clear and slightly damp |
| And we were riding back to have ourselves a party |
| To celebrate the robbing of the train |
| We were talking kind of low and lazy |
| About not having to go out soon again |
| You know we hadn’t been back home two hours |
| We heard a hawk cry out in the night |
| And you know that’s a signal from young Billy, who’s our sentry |
| He’s saying something here ain’t exactly right |
| So we quick grabbed some of our hardware |
| Stumbled out of our home |
| In two minutes flat we had found her |
| An Indian girl all alone |
| And Eli said, «Let's take her back to the cabin» |
| I said, «You don’t know she might be the law, yeah» |
| He said, smiling kind of nasty |
| «It ain’t too damn likely she’ll beat me to the draw.» |
| As we were walking back through the darkness |
| I heard the Duke, he’s our dynamiter, say |
| He said, «What's your name, sweet little Indian girl?» |
| She said, «Raven.» |
| and she looked away |
| Right then I didn’t trust her, no and I said so, oh no |
| Now, Eli, he’s our fastest gunner |
| He’s kind of mean and young from the South |
| He said, «Fat Albert, you’re getting kind of old and weird now.» |
| «You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out.» |
| And I did… |
| Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it |
| They each wanted the Indian girl for their own |
| But when they finally got around to asking her |
| You know she said she’d come to take young Billy home |
| Eli said he’d kill young Billy |
| He’d kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeah |
| The Indian girl she said, «Go ahead now do it» |
| I said «Stop it», and she bit my thumb nearly clean through |
| And when they finally started to break down the door |
| I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb |
| I laid down on the floor and played real good possum |
| You know I’m crazy but I ain’t real dumb |
| Now I’m dying here in Albuquerque |
| I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw |
| You know the reason I’m the only man here to tell it |
| You know that Indian girl, she wasn’t an Indian she was the law |
