Outlaw Pete

歌詞

He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail At six months old he'd done three months in jail Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet All he said was Folks my name is Outlaw Pete I'm Outlaw Pete I'm Outjaw Pete Can you hear me At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel Father Jesus I'm an outlaw killer and a thief And I slowed down on Lee and I saw my grief I'm Outlaw Pete I'm Outlaw Pete Can you hear me They cut his trail of tears across the countryside And where he went when he wept and died One night he woke from a vision of his own death Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res And as the smooth fairy he held that beautiful daughter to his chest I'm Outlaw Pete I'm Outlaw Pete Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me <♪> Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river pulled his gun and got the try He said Pete you think you've changed but you have not He cocked his pistol pulled the trigger and shot him let it start He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart Dan smiled as he layed in his own blood dying in the sun And whispered in Pete's ear We cannot undue these things we've done You're Outlaw Pete You're Outlaw Pete Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top He watched the hawk on a desert slip and slide Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his bony side <♪> Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge The young Navajo girl washes in the river skin so fair And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair Outlaw Pete OutJaw Pete Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me
