Rhymes Of The Renegades (Michael Martin Murphy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfromed By Michael Martin Murphey
FIf You Listen FClose When The FHot Wind FBlows
Down The FDust Filled FStreets Of FOld TombFstone
You Might FHear An Old Rhyme GRingin'
Of The FLegends Who FWalked In Their FLong Black FCoats
And FTheir High Top FBoots And Their .F45 FColts
Right In FTo This Song I'm GSinging
That The FBallad GMongers FMade
Into The GRhymes Of The FRenegades F F F F F F G
Way FUp In FDakota By The FDeadwood FMoon
Wild FBill's Ghost FHaunts Number F10 SalFoon
Where A FCoward Came To GGet Him
Bill Held A FDead Man's FHand Of FAces And FEights
With His FBack To The FDoor He FTempted FFate
Old FBill Never Knew What Hit GHim
FGamblin' His GLife FAway
To The GRyhmes Of The FRenegades
And GIn All Of The Towns Too Tough To Die
Their FDancin' Up On Boot Hill Tonight
GLaughin' At The Movies Hollywood Made
FDancing To The GRhymes Of The FRenegades
And GBilly The Kid Is Laughing Right Out Loud
At FHow They Turned Him Into A Hero Somehow
Who'll GCast A Third Stone At His Well Known Grave
While FChanting These GRhymes Of The FRenegades
Way FOut In FCalifornia By A FLong Dark FBend
And A FMask And FDuster Blowing FIn The FWind
Black FBart Still Stands There GWaitin'
And FOut In El FPaso The FThunder Cloud FRolls
Like FJohn Wessley FHardin's Guns FLong FAgo
And The FWest Still Loves To GHate Him
For His FLegend GWill Not FFade
From The GRhymes Of The FRenegades
And FAll Of The FRobbers Who FRode Through FHell
And FDanced On The FRope When The FGallows FFell
Their FDemons Are Still With GUs
And The FVigilantes FDo More FEvil Than FGood
When They FMasquarade FAround Like FRobin FHood
And They FRide At Night To GGet Us
From The FOwl Whoot GTrails The FShades
Come The GRhymes Of The FRenegades
And GCould It Be True That Some Become Outlaws
Holdin' FOn To The Last To A Long Lost Cause
GDiggin' Their Grave With A Silver Spade
Singing FHymes And RGhymes To The RFenegades
Some GCall It A Mystery When Waco Burns
From FHistory They Refuse To Learn
They GTurn Their Backs 'Till The Movie Deal's Made
FDeaf To The GRhymes Of The FRenegades
They'll GBurn Down Up To Heaven And Stay (not sure of lyrics here)
Cause The FRaid Out Laws On the Churches And Banks (not sure of lryics here)
They GEnforce The Laws That Where Tailor Made
They Won't FHear The GRhymes Of The FRenegades
They GIgnore The Dark Side Of Humanity
They're FLiving The Illusion That Were All Free
They'll GNever Know How Many Could Be Saved
