Dawn's Early Light |
That old prairie wind is blowing |
I can feel it on my face |
As the land, it rolls out before me |
Everything is in it’s place |
My old home, I’ll never go to |
My old home, I’ll never see |
For I must ride now across these flatlands |
Fleein' the man who murdered me |
By the dawn’s early light |
Oh now, I must saddle up and ride |
By the dawn’s early light |
Oh now, ride through the night |
Into the dawn’s early light |
In the state of Indiana |
Lived the man who killed my son |
I shot him dead, now I did it indeed |
After ten long years on the run |
But that man, he was not a loner |
Had two brothers, Lord, you see |
They flipped a coin to let fate decide |
Which one would come and murder me |
Sun comes up, down in the valley |
In the air, sensation (???) |
When I see comin' up around the corner |
Both of the Brothers riding right in front of me |
Down in the valley it’s two against one |
All men reaching for their guns |
Three shots fired down deep in the valley |
Two men dying in the morning sun |
By the dawn’s early light |
My boy’s kneelin' by my side |
By the dawn’s early light |
As I lay me down to die |
By the dawn’s early light |
Oh now, I must saddle up and ride |
By the dawn’s early light |
Oh now, ride through the night |
Riding along into the night |
Riding along into the night |
Well, it must’ve been five, six years ago under the dawn’s early light |
Well, I led my darling down the old vermillion way |
Well, I led her down to the riverside (???) |
And we said our vows in the moonlight that night |
And we knew from that day we’d never be apart |
But then it all changed in the blink of an eye |
