| [00:08.07] |
To the rich man's bright lodges |
| [00:11.33] |
|
| [00:12.02] |
I ride in this wind |
| [00:15.19] |
|
| [00:15.70] |
On my good horse I call you |
| [00:19.39] |
|
| [00:19.95] |
My shiny black Bess |
| [00:23.02] |
|
| [00:23.69] |
To the playhouse of fortune |
| [00:26.91] |
|
| [00:27.65] |
To take the bright silver |
| [00:31.04] |
|
| [00:31.65] |
And gold you have taken |
| [00:34.66] |
|
| [00:35.47] |
From somebody else |
| [00:38.91] |
|
| [00:39.58] |
And as we go riding |
| [00:42.37] |
|
| [00:43.05] |
In the damp foggy midnight |
| [00:47.33] |
You snort my good pony |
| [00:50.27] |
|
| [00:50.79] |
And you give me your best |
| [00:54.31] |
|
| [00:54.85] |
For you know and I know |
| [00:58.05] |
|
| [00:58.77] |
Good horse 'mongst the rich ones |
| [01:02.57] |
How oftimes we go there |
| [01:06.52] |
An unwelcome guest |
| [01:10.90] |
|
| [01:18.14] |
I never took food |
| [01:20.78] |
|
| [01:21.47] |
From the widows and orphans |
| [01:25.74] |
And never a hardworking man I oppressed |
| [01:32.44] |
|
| [01:33.31] |
So take your pace easy |
| [01:36.42] |
|
| [01:37.39] |
For home soon like lightning |
| [01:40.73] |
|
| [01:41.28] |
We soon will be riding |
| [01:44.63] |
My shiny black Bess |
| [01:48.22] |
|
| [01:48.93] |
No fat rich man's pony |
| [01:51.91] |
|
| [01:52.61] |
Can ever overtake you |
| [01:55.49] |
|
| [01:56.74] |
And there's not a rider |
| [01:59.27] |
|
| [01:59.96] |
From the east to the west |
| [02:03.04] |
|
| [02:04.45] |
Could hold you a light |
| [02:07.22] |
|
| [02:07.77] |
In this dark mist and midnight |
| [02:11.68] |
When the potbellied thieves |
| [02:14.22] |
|
| [02:14.85] |
Chase the unwelcome guest |
| [02:19.41] |
|
| [02:27.53] |
I don't know good horse |
| [02:29.31] |
|
| [02:30.41] |
As we trot in this dark here |
| [02:33.91] |
|
| [02:34.64] |
That robbing the rich |
| [02:36.94] |
|
| [02:37.83] |
Is for worse or for best |
| [02:41.01] |
|
| [02:41.96] |
They take it by stealing |
| [02:44.83] |
|
| [02:45.61] |
And lying and gambling |
| [02:48.62] |
|
| [02:49.47] |
And I take it my way |
| [02:53.24] |
My shiny Black Bess |
| [02:56.51] |
|
| [02:57.08] |
I treat horses good |
| [02:59.50] |
|
| [03:00.20] |
And I'm friendly to strangers |
| [03:04.05] |
|
| [03:04.70] |
I ride and your running |
| [03:07.83] |
Makes my guns talk the best |
| [03:11.27] |
|
| [03:12.12] |
And the rangers and deputies |
| [03:15.25] |
|
| [03:15.91] |
Are hired by the rich man |
| [03:19.96] |
To catch me and hang me |
| [03:22.89] |
|
| [03:23.53] |
My shining black Bess |
| [03:27.85] |
|
| [03:57.28] |
Yes they'll catch me napping one day |
| [04:02.76] |
And they'll kill me |
| [04:04.58] |
|
| [04:06.26] |
And then I'll be gone |
| [04:07.85] |
|
| [04:08.67] |
But that won't be my end |
| [04:12.22] |
For my guns and my saddle |
| [04:15.65] |
|
| [04:16.51] |
Will always be filled |
| [04:20.32] |
By unwelcome travelers |
| [04:24.17] |
And other brave men |
| [04:27.49] |
|
| [04:28.21] |
And they'll take the money |
| [04:30.83] |
|
| [04:31.53] |
And spread it out equal |
| [04:35.92] |
Just like the Bible |
| [04:39.01] |
And the prophets suggest |
| [04:42.07] |
|
| [04:43.10] |
But men that go riding |
| [04:46.26] |
|
| [04:46.77] |
To help these poor workers |
| [04:50.59] |
The rich will cut down |
| [04:54.17] |
Like an unwelcome guest |
