From the Plains to Mexico |
We were lyin' on the prairie, on slaughter’s ranch one night |
With our heads upon our saddles and a campfire burnin' bright |
Soon we fell to talkin' of distant friends so dear |
Oh, when a boy raised up in his saddle and he wiped away our tear |
Oh, I fell in love with a neighbor girl, her cheeks were soft and white |
Another feller loved her too and it ended in a fight |
Oh, it makes me shake and shudder to think of that awful night |
When Tom and I began to fight and I stabbed him with my knife |
I fell down on my knees and tried to stop the blood |
That came out from his side all spurtin' |
Like some bright red crimson flood |
And now when I am sleepin' I hear him softly say |
Oh Bob, I know you’re sorry but I’ve gone to a better place |
Yes I guess, I believe it but I just can’t let it go |
His dyin' eyes are with me, oh from the plains to Mexico |
