Rhymes Of The Renegades (Michael Martin Murphy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfromed By Michael Martin Murphey
GIf You Listen CClose When The GHot Wind CBlows
Down The GDust Filled CStreets Of GOld TombCstone
You Might GHear An Old Rhyme DRingin'
Of The GLegends Who CWalked In Their GLong Black CCoats
And GTheir High Top CBoots And Their .G45 CColts
Right In GTo This Song I'm DSinging
That The GBallad DMongers CMade
Into The DRhymes Of The GRenegades C G C G C G D
Way GUp In CDakota By The GDeadwood CMoon
Wild GBill's Ghost CHaunts Number G10 SalCoon
Where A GCoward Came To DGet Him
Bill Held A GDead Man's CHand Of GAces And CEights
With His GBack To The CDoor He GTempted CFate
Old GBill Never Knew What Hit DHim
GGamblin' His DLife CAway
To The DRyhmes Of The GRenegades
And DIn All Of The Towns Too Tough To Die
Their GDancin' Up On Boot Hill Tonight
DLaughin' At The Movies Hollywood Made
CDancing To The DRhymes Of The GRenegades
And DBilly The Kid Is Laughing Right Out Loud
At GHow They Turned Him Into A Hero Somehow
Who'll DCast A Third Stone At His Well Known Grave
While CChanting These DRhymes Of The GRenegades
Way GOut In CCalifornia By A GLong Dark CBend
And A GMask And CDuster Blowing GIn The CWind
Black GBart Still Stands There DWaitin'
And GOut In El CPaso The GThunder Cloud CRolls
Like GJohn Wessley CHardin's Guns GLong CAgo
And The GWest Still Loves To DHate Him
For His GLegend DWill Not CFade
From The DRhymes Of The GRenegades
And GAll Of The CRobbers Who GRode Through CHell
And GDanced On The CRope When The GGallows CFell
Their GDemons Are Still With DUs
And The GVigilantes CDo More GEvil Than CGood
When They GMasquarade CAround Like GRobin CHood
And They GRide At Night To DGet Us
From The GOwl Whoot DTrails The CShades
Come The DRhymes Of The GRenegades
And DCould It Be True That Some Become Outlaws
Holdin' GOn To The Last To A Long Lost Cause
DDiggin' Their Grave With A Silver Spade
Singing CHymes And RDhymes To The RGenegades
Some DCall It A Mystery When Waco Burns
From GHistory They Refuse To Learn
They DTurn Their Backs 'Till The Movie Deal's Made
CDeaf To The DRhymes Of The GRenegades
They'll DBurn Down Up To Heaven And Stay (not sure of lyrics here)
Cause The GRaid Out Laws On the Churches And Banks (not sure of lryics here)
They DEnforce The Laws That Where Tailor Made
They Won't CHear The DRhymes Of The GRenegades
They DIgnore The Dark Side Of Humanity
They're GLiving The Illusion That Were All Free
They'll DNever Know How Many Could Be Saved
