Chords:
ABorn under a sEouth Kentucky Asky
DHe'd come west to EMexico to fAight
D1842 at Mier
The gAutters filled with Fmblood and fear
ABarely made it bEack to Texas aAlive
With AMissouri VolunEteers when the war begAan
In '4D6 they cErossed the Rio GArande
DThere he met his dark-eyed love
But sAaid good bye when the Fmwar was done
He Aswore that he'd come Eback for her aAgain
DOh Fmoh noviaA
FmOh oh your mEan is goAne
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll tAake what God has Fmleft us
And we'll lAeave for CalifEornia with the dAawn
AWorked his way back Eto Old MexiAco
To recDlaim the love he'd Eleft two years aAgo
DBack to those same city walls
Where Ahe'd watched copper Fmcannonballs
Like wAayward suns roll dEown the cobblesAtones
They Aput him in a prEison left alAone
With Dother yankee Efools so far from hAome
ParDade them through the square in chains
'TAill in rode Captain GFmlanton's gang
AApache scalps for bEounties paid in Agold
DOh Fmoh noviaA
FmOh oh your mEan is goAne
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll tAake what God has Fmleft us
And we'll lAeave for CalifEornia with the dAawn
GAlanton's men were Ekillers all by Atrade
And tDhrough the prison Ebars a deal was mAade
GDlanton needed three new men
He hAired the lovelorn Fmveteran
The kAillers rode out tEhrough the governor's gAates
The VAeteran left Ecamp 'fore the rising sAun
No kDiller he'd left all their Ework undAone
HDe was not yet two days out
When GAlanton's naked Fmnative scouts
Brought Aback his empty Ehorse and his brand new Agun
DOh Fmoh noviaA
FmOh oh your mEan is goAne
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll tAake what God has Fmleft us
And we'll lAeave for CalifEornia with the dAawn
DOh Fmoh noviaA
FmOh oh your mEan is goAne
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll tAake what God has Fmleft us
And we'll lAeave for CalifEornia with the dAawn
