Ballad of Katie

歌詞

Big man moves into town on a black horse I wonder why He kicks the dust off his black boots He wipes his eyes And all the men in all the town All the people all around stand watching There wondering here wondering now Wondering who wondering how Wondering why He's a lone traveler he's been travelling 'round He's seen death valleys He's seen young men drown He seeks a young lady take her home lay her down He seeks a young lady take her home lay her down Katie lives in the small town, she lives outside She catches sight of the big man on the black horse She likes his eyes Of all the men in all the world she's ever seen or Ever heard she's seen more like him... She feels his eyes think they hurt Feels the pain thinks its worse she's wondering...why Billy lives in the small town and he loves Katie Oh he loves her life He'd go over and kill the big man Staring at Katie But he don't fight No He says oh hold on brother Fore you go any further Who's eyes do you have on She's mine brother I could be her man Get your black horse brother Get you right out of this town Get your black horse brother Get you right out of this town Big man leaves town on the black horse He says goodbye
