Rock River
I was out in the wild
Trying to catch some supper
And bring it home to sweet mama.
But when the pony headed back
To our home valley.
I knew I'd been gone too long:
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I reached home just afer dark.
Looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land...
So I kicked the frontdoor open
Saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman...
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I chased him through Arkansas
From Texas to Missouri...
He took me up north
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis
He was haunted
But I had the time
I wanted him back
To the scene of the crime
- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died...
Well, we reached Rock River
And we reached the other side...
He looked back
Kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger
And I hitted him
Right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama
To the roaches & the flys...
Rock River Rock River
Rock River Rock River
Rock River
Trying to catch some supper
And bring it home to sweet mama.
But when the pony headed back
To our home valley.
I knew I'd been gone too long:
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I reached home just afer dark.
Looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land...
So I kicked the frontdoor open
Saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman...
- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died
I chased him through Arkansas
From Texas to Missouri...
He took me up north
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis
He was haunted
But I had the time
I wanted him back
To the scene of the crime
- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died...
Well, we reached Rock River
And we reached the other side...
He looked back
Kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger
And I hitted him
Right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama
To the roaches & the flys...
Rock River Rock River
Rock River Rock River
