Eddy Arnold - Red Headed Stranger lyrics
(Edith Linderman - Carl Stutz) The red headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana Rode into town one day And under his knees was a raging black stallion And lopin' behind was a bay. The red headed stranger had eyes like the thunder His lips that were sad and tight His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside His heart was heavy as night. Don't cross him don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow He's ridin' and hidin' his pain Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow Maybe he'll ride on again. --- Instrumental --- A yellow haired woman leaned out of her window Watched as he passed her way She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion But cast greedy eyes on the bay. But how could she know that this dancing bay pony Meant more to him than life For this was the horse his little lost darlin' was ridden When she was his wife. The yellow haired lady came down to the tavern Looked up the stranger there He bought her a drink and he gave her some money He just didn't seem to care. She followed him out as he saddled his stallion And laughed as she grabbed at the bay But he shot her so quick they had no time to warn her She never heard anyone say. Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow He's ridin' and hidin' his pain Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow Maybe he'll ride on again. --- Instrumental --- They buried the yellow haired woman at sunset The stranger went free of course 'Cause you can't hang a man for shootin' a woman Who's a tryin' to steal your horse. Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow He's ridin' and hidin' his pain Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow Maybe he'll ride on again... |
