Santa Rosa |
Seems like ten years ago, though today my mind is slow |
Me and Mickey Craig were running west from Idaho |
Robbed a bank to get some bread, seems like fifteen men lay dead |
In a path that led us straight to Santa Rosa |
Now and then ol' Mickey’d say, «Boy, at home you should’ve stayed |
Than to follow me and learn the life of looking back» |
But he’d spit and slap his side just to see if he’s alive |
Then he’d sing his banjo song of Santa Rosa |
He said, whoa-oh, singin', «Oh, Santa Rosa», whoa-oh, high and low, ooh |
Then one day, sang ol' Craig, «I'll be free to go my way |
And be standin' by the bay at Santa Rosa», yeah |
Now one time, late at night, Mickey lit no fire light |
'Cause he feared the posse close behind might flush us out |
But he picked a bit 'fore sleep to the tune of Cripple Creek |
He was murdered by a man from Santa Rosa |
He sang, whoa-oh, singin', «Oh, Santa Rosa» |
Whoa-oh, singin', «Oh, Santa Rosa», whoa-oh, high and low, ooh |
Till I come once again with my banjo pickin' friend |
We’ll be, oh, high and low in Santa Rosa |
Get up |
