One Hour Ahead of the Posse - Burl Ives[00:00:00]

Written by：Eliot Daniel/Larry Morey[00:00:00]

One hour ahead of the posse[00:00:16]

The bloodhounds are hot on my trail[00:00:19]

Last night I shot my sweetheart[00:00:22]

This morning I broke out of jail[00:00:26]

My pinto is tired and hungry[00:00:29]

And I'm feeling weary and warm[00:00:32]

We started ahead of the posse[00:00:35]

And we got to keep going on[00:00:38]

The sherrif aswored he would get me[00:00:41]

He's riding with 20 and 5[00:00:45]

But I'm not afeared of that posse[00:00:48]

They never will get me alive[00:00:51]

One hour ahead of the posse[00:00:56]

No turning to left or to right[00:00:59]

We must win the race to the river[00:01:02]

Or there'll be a hanging tonight[00:01:05]

Or there'll be a hanging tonight[00:01:09]

One hour ahead of the posse[00:01:12]

No time for remorse or regret[00:01:15]

But somehow her eyes still haunt me[00:01:18]

Her laughter is taunting me yet[00:01:21]

It started the night that we might[00:01:25]

She kissed me and vowed she would care[00:01:28]

I traded the gold in pocket[00:01:31]

To fondle the curls in her hair[00:01:34]

She lied when she told me she loved me[00:01:37]

She lied with each kiss that she gave[00:01:41]

She lied to the moment I caught her[00:01:44]

And now she lies still in her grave[00:01:47]

On hour ahead of the posse[00:01:53]

The night is a coming on fast[00:01:55]

We must win the race to the Rio[00:01:59]

And well shake that old posse at last[00:02:02]

We're nearing the end of our journey[00:02:05]

And now I'm inside of my goal[00:02:23]

At last we've beaten the posse[00:02:30]

May the lord have mercy on my soul[00:02:36]

May the lord have mercy on my soul[00:02:48]
