Words/Music by Garth Brooks, Cynthia Limbaugh
G | |
She|was a girl on a wagon train|
Cheaded Gwest a-crosDs the plains.|G
The | Emtrain got lost in a suCmmer storm.|D
They | Emcoudln't move west and they Ccouldn't go|D
home. Then she | Gsaw him ridin' through the rain.|
He took | Ccharge of the wGagons and he Dsaved the train.|G
And | Emshe looked down and her heCart was gone.|
The | Emtrain went west but sheC stayed |D on in Lonesome Dove.|
2:
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand,
A blooming rose in a bed of sand;
She loved the man who wore a star,
A Texas Ranger known near and far.
So they got married and they had a child.
But times were tough and West was wild.
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove. CHORUS
3:
She watched her boy grow to a man.
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand.
He wore his star for all to see.
He was a Texas lawman legacy.
Then one day word blew into twon.
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico.
Tho only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove. (to verse 4)
4:
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande.
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street,
The men lay at the ranger's feet.
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway.
"Though no one knows who held the gun,
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove. CHORUS
CHORUS---
BEmack to back with the GRio Grande, a | CChristian woman in the dGevil's D/F#land.
She | lEmearned the language and she Bmlearned to fight, but she|
Cnever learned how the beat the | Amlonely nights|D in | DLoneGsome
Dove,| | DLoneGsome Dove.
