The red headed stranger

From blue rock Montana

Rode into town one day

And under his knees

Was a raging black stallion

Walking behind was a bay

The red headed stranger

Had eyes like the thunder

And his lips they were sad and tight

His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside

And his heart was heavy this night

So don't 'cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow

He's riding and hiding his pain

Don't fight him don't spite him

Just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again

A yellow haired lady

Leaned out of her window

And 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

That his little lost darling

Had ridden when she was his wife

Don't 'cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow

He's riding and hiding his pain

Don't fight him don't spite him

Just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again

The yellow haired lady

Came down to the tavern

And 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 the stallion

And laughed as

She grabbed at the bay

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 riding and hiding his pain

Don't fight him don't spite him

Just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again

The yellow haired lady

Was buried at sunset

The stranger went free of course

For you can't hang a man

For killing a woman

Who's trying to steal your horse

This is the tale

Of the red headed stranger

And if he should pass your way

Stay out of the path

Of the raging black stallion

And don't lay a hand on the bay

Don't 'cross him don't boss him

He's wild in his sorrow

He's riding and hiding his pain

Don't fight him don't spite him

Just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again

And that was the time

When the preacher

In the year number one

That`s when you think it`s all over

It`s only begun
