The Ballad of the Gold Thief (Live)
There's a story that's worth telling
A thousand pounds of gold is filling
A well in southern Mexico they say
A handsome man he took that gold
He buried it down deep below
Where no one else could find it except for one
Yeah and who's that one?
They say she's a pretty girl
As fair as summer
With dark eyes and black hair
Who knows how to use a gun
There's a place she want to be
Where the river meets the sea
And the air is filled with salt and nicotine
There's a map she can't read
She's learning to she want to be
A rich girl in her father's arms
With a Casa Bonita that she can call her own
You've got a lot of time
To speak your mind
And hold on to love
The things of your youth
That can carry you through hard times
A thousand pounds of gold is filling
A well in southern Mexico they say
A handsome man he took that gold
He buried it down deep below
Where no one else could find it except for one
Yeah and who's that one?
They say she's a pretty girl
As fair as summer
With dark eyes and black hair
Who knows how to use a gun
There's a place she want to be
Where the river meets the sea
And the air is filled with salt and nicotine
There's a map she can't read
She's learning to she want to be
A rich girl in her father's arms
With a Casa Bonita that she can call her own
You've got a lot of time
To speak your mind
And hold on to love
The things of your youth
That can carry you through hard times
