Chambers - Ben Nichols[00:00:00]
Born under a south kentucky sky[00:00:06]
He'd come west to mexico[00:00:11]
To fight eighteen fourty two at mier[00:00:13]
The gutters filled with blood and fear[00:00:20]
Barely made it back to texas alive[00:00:22]
With missouri volunteers when the war began[00:00:28]
Fourty six they crossed the rio grande[00:00:34]
There he met his dark-eyed love[00:00:40]
But said good bye when the war was done[00:00:42]
He swore that he'd come back for her again[00:00:45]
Oh oh novia[00:00:51]
Oh oh your man is gone[00:01:02]
Maybe he's in texas[00:01:14]
But we'll take what god has left us[00:01:16]
And we'll leave for california with the dawn[00:01:19]
Worked his way back to old mexico[00:01:25]
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago[00:01:31]
Back to those same city walls[00:01:37]
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs[00:01:39]
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones[00:01:42]
They put him in a prison left alone[00:01:48]
With other yankee fools so far from home[00:01:54]
Parade them through the square in chains[00:02:00]
Till in rode captain glanton's gang[00:02:02]
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold[00:02:05]
Oh oh novia[00:02:11]
Oh oh your man is gone[00:02:22]
Maybe he's in texas[00:02:34]
But we'll take what god has left us[00:02:35]
And we'll leave for california with the dawn[00:02:39]
Glanton's men were killers all by trade[00:02:45]
And through the prison bars a deal was made[00:02:51]
Glanton needed three new men[00:02:57]
Hired the lovelorn veteran[00:02:59]
The killers rode out through the governor's gates[00:03:01]
The veteran left camp fore the rising sun[00:03:08]
No killer he'd left other work undone[00:03:13]
He was not yet two days out[00:03:19]
When glanton's naked native scouts[00:03:22]
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun[00:03:25]
Oh oh novia[00:03:31]
Oh oh your man is gone[00:03:42]
Maybe he's in texas[00:03:54]
But we'll take what god has left us[00:03:55]
And we'll leave for california with the dawn[00:03:59]
Oh oh novia[00:04:05]
Oh oh your man is gone[00:04:16]
Maybe he's in texas[00:04:28]
But we'll take what god has left us[00:04:29]
And we'll leave for california with the dawn[00:04:33]
