| [00:04.830] |
The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana |
| [00:09.600] |
Rode into town one day |
| [00:14.160] |
And under his knees was a ragin' black stallion |
| [00:19.170] |
And walkin' behind was a bay |
| [00:23.530] |
The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder |
| [00:28.210] |
And his lips they were sad and tight |
| [00:32.810] |
His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside |
| [00:37.270] |
And his heart was heavy as night |
| [00:41.820] |
Don't cross him don't boss him |
| [00:44.040] |
He's wild in his sorrow |
| [00:46.540] |
He's ridin' an' hidin' his pain |
| [00:50.730] |
Don't fight him don't spite him |
| [00:53.380] |
Just wait till tomorrow |
| [00:55.880] |
Maybe he'll ride on again |
| [01:00.700] |
|
| [01:03.270] |
A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window |
| [01:07.920] |
An' watched as he passed her way |
| [01:12.380] |
She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion |
| [01:17.080] |
But cast greedy eyes on the bay |
| [01:21.660] |
But how could she know that this dancin' bay pony |
| [01:26.330] |
Meant more to him than life |
| [01:30.730] |
For this was the horse that his little lost darlin' |
| [01:35.340] |
Had ridden when she was his wife |
| [01:39.620] |
Don't cross him don't boss him |
| [01:41.660] |
He's wild in his sorrow |
| [01:44.260] |
He's ridin' an' hidin' his pain |
| [01:48.710] |
Don't fight him don't spite him |
| [01:51.120] |
Just wait till tomorrow |
| [01:53.700] |
Maybe he'll ride on again |
| [01:58.540] |
|
| [02:01.070] |
The yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern |
| [02:05.440] |
An' looked up the stranger there |
| [02:10.130] |
He bought her a drink an' he gave her some money |
| [02:14.670] |
He just didn't seem to care |
| [02:19.260] |
She followed him out as he saddled his stallion |
| [02:23.570] |
An' laughed as she grabbed at the bay |
| [02:28.260] |
He shot her so quick they had no time to warn her |
| [02:32.750] |
She never heard anyone say |
| [02:36.790] |
Don't cross him don't boss him |
| [02:38.980] |
He's wild in his sorrow |
| [02:41.270] |
He's ridin' an' hidin' his pain |
| [02:45.690] |
Don't fight him don't spite him |
| [02:48.010] |
Just wait till tomorrow |
| [02:50.240] |
Maybe he'll ride on again |
| [02:57.550] |
The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset |
| [03:02.010] |
The stranger went free of course |
| [03:06.530] |
For you can't hang a man for killin' a woman |
| [03:10.950] |
Who's tryin' to steal your horse |
| [03:15.410] |
This is the tale of the red headed stranger |
| [03:19.800] |
And if he should pass your way |
| [03:24.180] |
Stay out of the path of the ragin' black stallion |
| [03:28.590] |
And don't lay a hand on the bay |
| [03:32.690] |
Don't cross him don't boss him |
| [03:34.970] |
He's wild in his sorrow |
| [03:37.300] |
He's ridin' an' hidin' his pain |
| [03:41.550] |
Don't fight him don't spite him |
| [03:43.890] |
Just wait till tomorrow |
| [03:46.460] |
Maybe he'll ride on again |
