Old Tom Horn - Chris Ledoux[00:00:02]

Now back in old Wyoming [00:00:06]

Many long years ago[00:00:07]

When there was no law and[00:00:10]

Order 'round to regulate the show[00:00:12]

Those old Wyoming ranchers[00:00:15]

Had a problem on their hands[00:00:17]

Trying to keep the cow thieves[00:00:20]

And the rustlers off their land[00:00:22]

Now old Tom Horn[00:00:26]

Came a riding up one day[00:00:27]

Gonna lend a hand to[00:00:30]

The cattlemen in his own peculiar way[00:00:31]

Well he took his 44-40 out[00:00:34]

And cleaned it up right well[00:00:36]

Then he rode off down[00:00:38]

Dry Gulch with a sack of rifle shells[00:00:40]

Old Tom Horn with a rifle by his side[00:00:44]

Through the hills of Wyoming[00:00:49]

He would ride[00:00:51]

There ain't no tellin'[00:00:54]

How many cattle thieves he killed[00:00:55]

But it was God help the rustler[00:00:57]

When Tom Horn was in the hill[00:00:59]

If you rode the Laramie Valley [00:01:03]

By either day or night[00:01:05]

You can be right sure[00:01:07]

He's watchin' you through his rifle sights[00:01:08]

He laid out in the bushes[00:01:11]

And the rustler come around[00:01:13]

Then he'll spill the boy[00:01:16]

With a single shot and chamber one more round[00:01:17]

Now the rustlers tried to stop him[00:01:21]

But they found there was no way[00:01:24]

He could pick them off from[00:01:26]

A mountain side a half mile away[00:01:27]

Well they ran him down the border[00:01:30]

But they never touched his hide[00:01:32]

He just slipped across to his[00:01:34]

Hide out on the Colorado side[00:01:36]

Old Tom Horn with a rifle by his side[00:01:40]

Through the hills of Wyoming[00:01:44]

He would ride[00:01:47]

There ain't no tellin' how many[00:01:49]

Cattle thieves he killed[00:01:51]

But it was God help the rustler[00:01:53]

When Tom Horn was in the hill[00:01:55]

Then one day young Willie Nickle[00:01:59]

Was out a ridin' around[00:02:01]

A 44-40 shot rang out and[00:02:03]

Laid the poor boy down[00:02:05]

Well it was only fourteen years[00:02:08]

Since that little kid was born[00:02:10]

And they said it looked like the[00:02:13]

Doing's of that lonesome Tom Horn[00:02:15]

So the cattlemen went and strung him up[00:02:18]

With a length of fresh snipped rope[00:02:21]

But his ghost still hangs out in the hills[00:02:23]

And spooks the Antelope[00:02:25]

Now all the rustlers hatred and[00:02:28]

All the cattlemen's fears[00:02:30]

Have kept all Tom Horn alive[00:02:32]

Through all the changing years[00:02:34]

Old Tom Horn with a rifle by his side[00:02:38]

Through the hills of Wyoming he would ride[00:02:42]

There ain't no tellin' how many[00:02:47]

Cattle thieves he killed[00:02:49]

But it was God help the rustler[00:02:50]

When Tom Horn was in the hill[00:02:53]
