Rock River Letra

I was out in the wildTrying to catch some supperAnd bring it home to sweet mama..But when the pony headed backTo our home valley..I knew I'd been gone too long:- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she diedI reached home just afer dark..Looking for mamaBut she was nowhere on our land...So I kicked the frontdoor openSaw the rope above herAnd the shadow of the dirty gunman...- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she diedI chased him through ArkansasFrom Texas to Missouri...He took me up northFrom Saint Antoine To Saint LouisHe was hauntedBut I had the timeI wanted him backTo the scene of the crime- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died...Well, we reached Rock RiverAnd we reached the other side...He looked backKinda fraid for his lifeI pulled my triggerAnd I hitted himRight between the eyesAnd then I roped him up to mamaTo the roaches & the flys...Rock River Rock RiverRock River Rock RiverRock River
