Straw in the Wind |
He rode in from the west with an eye for a dollar to make |
He pitched us a sale about healing and oil from a snake |
The barkeep, he warned him, but the man did not comprehend |
How strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind |
Too young, but in love when she met him in some northern town |
He treated her good 'til the sun and the whiskey went down |
Did the bruise on her face test the patience of all of her kin? |
Or do strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind? |
Ol' Jim runs his mouth when he drinks since his wife passed away |
But he’s good to the kids and the crops that he sells are fair trade |
But a travelin' man heard enough and took a pipe to his chin |
That traveling man disappeared like straw in the wind |
If the mouth of this river could talk, here’s what it would say: |
«If you come here with good in your heart, you’ll be on your way |
«But I’m not the one here who judged another man’s sin |
«Or made strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind» |
Strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind |
