Tragic Life |
| I’m a long way from home |
| I don’t know where I’ll go |
| I a’int slept in days |
| And the water’s running low |
| Got a posse at my back |
| And bullet in my side |
| Lord I gotta keep on movin' |
| Find a good place to hide |
| Well they tried to take me in |
| For shootin' down a man |
| He got what he deserved |
| They’ll have to catch me if they can |
| I feel my blood runnin' colder every day |
| I know that soon this old body be layin' beneath the clay |
| I came home from the range |
| And the moon was shining bright |
| Saw two shadows moving |
| Like demons in the night |
| I felt my body tremble |
| As I saw them lyin' there |
| A stranger with my wife |
| I drew the pistol that I wear |
| Oh, and I feel my blood runnin' colder every day |
| And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay |
| I shot him in the back |
| As he was makin' for the door |
| I stood over a man |
| That I knew I’d seen before |
| His hand was on his chest |
| And I knew I’d gone too far |
| When I opened up his vest |
| And I saw that silver star |
| (break) |
| Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day |
| And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay |
| Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day |
| And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay |
