Rock River - D-A-D

I was out in the wild

Trying to catch some supper

And bring it home to sweet mama.

But when the pony headed back

To our home valley.

I knew I’d been gone too long:

— And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

I reached home just afer dark.

Looking for mama

But she was nowhere on our land…

So I kicked the frontdoor open

Saw the rope above her

And the shadow of the dirty gunman…

— And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

I chased him through Arkansas

From Texas to Missouri…

He took me up north

From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis

He was haunted

But I had the time

I wanted him back

To the scene of the crime

— And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died…

Well, we reached Rock River

And we reached the other side…

He looked back

Kinda fraid for his life

I pulled my trigger

And I hitted him

Right between the eyes

And then I roped him up to mama

To the roaches & the flys…

Rock River Rock River
