Me and my good partners[00:00:13]
We were riding back to our camp[00:00:19]
We were feeling very fine[00:00:26]
And the air was clear and slightly damp[00:00:32]
And we were riding back to have ourselves a party[00:00:37]
To celebrate the robbing of the train[00:00:56]
We were talking kind of low and lazy[00:01:04]
About not having to go out soon again[00:01:08]
You know we hadn't been back home two hours[00:01:14]
We heard a hawk cry out in the night[00:01:36]
And you know that's a signal from young Billy who's our sentry[00:01:42]
He's saying something here ain't exactly right[00:01:47]
So we quick grabbed some of our hardware[00:02:02]
Stumbled out of our home[00:02:09]
In two minutes flat we had found her[00:02:14]
An Indian girl all alone[00:02:20]
And Eli said Let's take her back to the cabin[00:02:28]
I said You don't know she might be the law yeah[00:02:33]
He said smiling kind of nasty[00:02:38]
It ain't too d**n likely she'll beat me to the draw[00:02:41]
As we were walking back through the darkness[00:02:48]
I heard the Duke he's our dynamiter say[00:03:08]
He said What's your name sweet little Indian girl[00:03:15]
She said Raven and she looked away[00:03:21]
Right then I didn't trust her no and I said so oh no[00:03:26]
Now Eli he's our fastest gunner[00:03:39]
He's kind of mean and young from the South[00:03:43]
He said Fat Albert you're getting kind of old and weird now[00:03:52]
You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out[00:03:57]
Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it[00:04:09]
They each wanted the Indian girl for their own[00:04:21]
But when they finally got around to asking her[00:04:29]
You know she said she'd come to take young Billy home[00:04:34]
Eli said he'd kill young Billy[00:04:52]
He'd kill the Duke and probably me too yeah[00:04:58]
The Indian girl said Go ahead now do it[00:05:04]
I said Stop it and she bit my thumb nearly clean through[00:05:11]
And when they finally started to break down the door[00:05:27]
I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb[00:05:34]
I laid down on the floor and played real good possum[00:05:39]
You know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumb[00:05:44]
Now I'm dying here in Albuquerque[00:06:35]
I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw[00:06:39]
You know the reason I'm the only man here to tell it[00:06:45]
You know that Indian girl she wasn't an Indian she was the law[00:06:54]
