Sam Bass - Alan Lomax/Mary Johnson/Rachel McLoud/Annie Johnston[00:00:00]

Sam Bass was born in Indiana [00:00:05]

It was his native home [00:00:09]

And at the age of seventeen[00:00:12]

Young Sam began to roam [00:00:16]

Sam first came out to Texas [00:00:19]

A cowboy for to be [00:00:22]

A kinda hearted fella[00:00:25]

You'd seldom ever see [00:00:28]

Sam used to deal in race stock [00:00:34]

One called the Denton mare [00:00:37]

He matched her in scrub races[00:00:40]

And took her to the fair [00:00:43]

Sam used to coin the money boys [00:00:46]

And spent it just as free [00:00:49]

He always drank good whiskey [00:00:52]

Wherever he might be [00:00:55]

Sam left the Collins' ranch[00:00:59]

In the merry month of May [00:01:02]

With a herd of Texas cattle [00:01:05]

The Black Hills for to see [00:01:08]

Sold out in Custer City [00:01:11]

And then got on a spree [00:01:14]

A harder set of cowboys[00:01:17]

You'd seldom ever see [00:01:20]

On their way back to Texas[00:01:24]

They robbed the N P train [00:01:27]

Then split up in couples[00:01:30]

And started out again [00:01:32]

Joe Collins and his partner[00:01:35]

Were overtaken soon [00:01:38]

With all their hard earned money boys [00:01:41]

They had to meet their doom [00:01:44]

Sam made it back to Texas [00:01:48]

All right side up with care [00:01:51]

Rode into the town of Denton [00:01:54]

With all his friends to share [00:01:56]

Sam's life was short in Texas [00:01:59]

Three robberies did he do [00:02:02]

He robbed all the passenger mail[00:02:05]

And express cars too [00:02:07]

Sam met his fate in Round Rock [00:02:13]

July the twenty-first [00:02:16]

They pierced poor Sam with rifle balls[00:02:19]

And emptied out his purse [00:02:21]

Poor Sam he is a corpse[00:02:24]

And six foot under clay [00:02:26]

And Jackson's in the bushes boys [00:02:29]

Trying to get away [00:02:32]

Jim had borrowed Sam's good gold[00:02:37]

And didn't want to pay [00:02:39]

The only shot he saw [00:02:42]

Was to give poor Sam away [00:02:44]

He sold out Sam and Barnes[00:02:47]

And left their friends to mourn [00:02:50]

Oh what a scorching Jim will get[00:02:53]

When Gabriel blows his horn [00:02:55]

Yes he sold out Sam and Barnes[00:02:59]

And left their friends to mourn [00:03:02]

Oh what a scorching Jim will get[00:03:05]

When Gabriel blows his horn [00:03:07]

Perhaps he's got to heaven[00:03:10]

There's none of us can say [00:03:13]

But if I'm right in my surmise [00:03:17]

He's gone the other way[00:03:20]
