Aunt Jessie's Chicken Ranch - Dash Rip Rock/Billie Davis/Kyle Melancon[00:00:00]
On the old Rio Grande about midnight [00:00:10]
The young boy had fallen asleep[00:00:15]
The old yeller dog he found on the trail[00:00:20]
Lay curled in a ball at his feet[00:00:25]
The cowpokes was all drunk and wasted[00:00:30]
In a town right close to the herd[00:00:35]
When a hurricane wind come blowing in [00:00:40]
Weren't time to give them no word[00:00:45]
St Elmo's fire lit up the herd [00:00:50]
Turned them and turned them to one[00:00:55]
When they plowed through the town[00:00:59]
With the eeriest sound [00:01:02]
Not a single soul there was spared[00:01:04]
Not a soul there was spared[00:01:10]
The young boy went whipping in the valley[00:01:21]
Into the darkness of night[00:01:26]
The cookie's young steed was a hell of a ride[00:01:31]
And the saddle bags bulged on each side[00:01:35]
He rode northeast toward the sunrise[00:01:41]
That came when the wind died away[00:01:45]
The saddle bags held all the cookie had come by [00:01:50]
Beef jerky a gun and his pay[00:01:55]
It was the kid's lucky day[00:02:00]
Kevan McGuire was a gambler [00:02:11]
Cheater of cards was his trade[00:02:16]
A horseless carriage that ran out of gas[00:02:20]
Last night was a part of his wage[00:02:25]
The trail was right lonesome that morning [00:02:30]
Nary a soul was in sight[00:02:35]
When the young boy rode up[00:02:40]
The gambler took aim [00:02:42]
Figuring to take the kid's life[00:02:45]
His bullet went strange like the life he had left [00:02:50]
It just wasn't his lucky day[00:02:54]
With his life he did pay[00:02:59]
The kid rifled through his belongings [00:03:10]
Never had killed him no man[00:03:15]
The cookie's pistol was weathered and worn[00:03:20]
But it brought down a hard one that day[00:03:24]
The kid rode away[00:03:29]
Aunt Jessie's Chicken Farm waited [00:03:40]
On those seeking comfort and play[00:03:45]
The young boy was older and wiser by then [00:03:50]
But something just pulled him that way[00:03:54]
He'd taken the money [00:03:59]
The gun and the watch [00:04:02]
The gambler had need for no more[00:04:04]
Then he tipped up his hat[00:04:09]
And he crawled off his horse[00:04:11]
And headed for Aunt Jessie's door[00:04:14]
This would be his first wore[00:04:18]
Women all gathered around him [00:04:29]
Marveled how young he must be[00:04:34]
The kid picked him one [00:04:38]
Went for her room [00:04:41]
When she gracefully led him away[00:04:43]
It was his turn to play[00:04:48]
A month's worth of wages he spent there [00:04:59]
That's where he figured he'd stay[00:05:04]
The woman he'd picked was the best of the lot [00:05:08]
Older and wiser than him[00:05:13]
Try as she may she still fell in love [00:05:18]
Started to rode back her pay[00:05:23]
They would marry some day[00:05:27]
One night while dusting his clothes off [00:05:39]
She noticed the watch by her bed[00:05:43]
She knew the man who belonged to that watch [00:05:48]
Somehow she knew he was dead[00:05:53]
She was barely fifteen when she met him [00:05:57]
And bore him a son on the trail[00:06:02]
The baby got left in the fork of a tree[00:06:07]
And he dragged her off sicker than hell[00:06:12]
She escaped him somehow[00:06:17]
When she asked the kid about his birthplace [00:06:28]
She teared up and started to cry[00:06:32]
She held him and hugged him and kissed him [00:06:37]
And told him to leave her that night[00:06:42]
The kid pulled himself into manhood [00:06:47]
Saved him a measure of pride[00:06:52]
Mother and son bid each other goodbye [00:06:57]
She waved as he rode out of sight[00:07:01]
She raised the kid right[00:07:06]
