The Pale Rider |
William was a gun fighter, he was waiting for his chance |
Waiting for his time to come, when he could make his name |
Riding into town with a look upon his brow |
Like he’s going to take from you or going to take you out |
Phoenix was an Indian who had a knack for robbing banks |
In the mesas of New Mexico is where they made their plans |
To rob the Denver bank and to leave no one alive |
And with their plans they rode northeast, their fingers on their guns |
Looking for an angel or the pale rider to come |
Looking for an angel or the pale rider to come |
There back in Santa Fe where you will find my love |
A Spanish maid named Usabelle with skin like holy dove |
And if this plan goes bad and I should meet my end |
You send her back to Texas and make sure to treat her well |
Connor was a law man, he protects the Denver bank |
He vowed to catch the riders, he vowed to see them hanged |
He told his men, «Be ready and when you see the riders come |
You put a bullet between their eyes», and the pale rider he comes |
A bullet between their eyes and the pale rider he comes |
On the Denver horizon, that’s where it all went down |
Getting into focus as the dust settled down |
Connor had the street staked out and ready for the draw |
And the tension mounted in the heat of it all |
Connor said, «Don't worry, I’m scared to death myself |
When I look into his eyes I see a demon straight from hell |
Coming straight for me, coming for the kill» |
That’s when the shots were fired, bang and it was done |
All were looking for an angel when the pale rider he comes |
Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes |
Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes |
Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes |
