Ballad of Katie |
Big man moves into town on a black horse |
I wonder why |
He kicks the dust off his black boots |
He wipes his eyes |
And all the men in all the town |
All the people all around stand watching |
There wondering here wondering now |
Wondering who wondering how |
Wondering why |
He’s a lone traveler he’s been travelling 'round |
He’s seen death valleys |
He’s seen young men drown |
He seeks a young lady take her home lay her down |
He seeks a young lady take her home lay her down |
Katie lives in the small town, she lives outside |
She catches sight of the big man on the black horse |
She likes his eyes |
Of all the men in all the world she’s ever seen or |
Ever heard she’s seen more like him… |
She feels his eyes think they hurt |
Feels the pain thinks its worse she’s wondering… why |
Billy lives in the small town and he loves Katie |
Oh he loves her life |
He’d go over and kill the big man |
Staring at Katie |
But he don’t fight |
No |
He says oh hold on brother |
Fore you go any further |
Who’s eyes do you have on |
She’s mine brother I could be her man |
Get your black horse brother |
Get you right out of this town |
Get your black horse brother |
Get you right out of this town |
Big man leaves town on the black horse |
He says goodbye |
