[Chorus]
EWhen first unto this Bcountry
A Astranger I Ecame
I Acourted a Bfair Emaid
And ANancy was her Ename
[Verse 2]
EI courted her for lovBe
HeAr love I diEdn't obtain
DoA you thinkB I'veE any reason
Or rAight to complaEin
[Verse 3]
EI rode to see my NancBy
I Arode both nEight and day
I Astoled a fBine sEtallion
FromA Colonel CharlEes Grey
[Verse 4]
EI rode to see my NancBy
I Arode both dEay and night
I Acourted faBirestE Nancy
My oAwn heart's truEe delight
[Verse 5]
EThe sheriff's men theBy followed
AnAd overtakenE me
ThAey carted Bme awEay
To tAhe penitentiarEy
[Verse 6]
EThey opened up the doBor
AnAd then theyE threw me in
ThAey shaved Boff mEy hair
And Athey cleared oEff my chin
[Verse 7]
EThey beat me and theyB banged me
AnAd they fed Eme on dry beans
'TAil I wisheBd to Emy own soul
I'd Anever been a tEhief
[Verse 8]
EWith my hands stuck iBn my pockets
AnAd my cap seEt on so bold
MyA coat of mBany cEolors
LikeA Joseph's of oEld
[Chorus]
EWhen first unto this Bcountry
A Astranger I Ecame
I Acourted a Bfair Emaid
And ANancy was her Ename
