Arkansas Dave |
| He rode up on a winter day |
| Steam rising off a streak faced bay |
| Said, you probably know my name |
| If you don’t it’s Arkansas Dave |
| He talked of fifteen years ago |
| And how he got the bay he rode |
| Said, he killed a man in Ohio |
| First man he killed, first horse he stole |
| It was a long road for Arkansas Dave |
| He shot and left him where he lay |
| Said, he’d never forget that winter day |
| He rode off on a streak faced bay |
| I stood up and I shook his hand |
| Told no one that I knew this man |
| Started thinking of a plan |
| 'Bout how I’d deal him his last hand |
| Didn’t take him long to come unwound |
| He jumped up and gunned two men down |
| Ran outside to leave the town |
| But ol' bay was nowhere to be found |
| I hid out with my 44 |
| And when he walked back through the door |
| I shot till I could shoot no more |
| And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor |
| It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave |
| I shot and left him where he lay |
| I’ll never forget that winter day |
| I rode off on the streak faced bay |
| No, I’ll never forget that winter day |
| I rode home on daddy’s streak faced bay |
