Intro

[Verse]
G Am D G
On the old Rio Grande around midnight, the young boy had fallen asleep
C G D
The old yeller dog he found on the trail lay curled in a ball at his feet
G C G
The cowpokes was all drunk and wasted in a town right close to the herd
C G D
When a hurricane wind come blowin' in, there weren't time to give 'em no word
G C G
St. Elmo's fire lit up the herd, turned 'em and turned 'em to one
C G D
When they plowed thru the town with the eeriest sound, not a single soul there was spared
Am D G C
Not a soul there was spared
[Verse]
G Am D G
The young boy went whippin' and ridin' into the darkness of night
C G D
The cookie's young steed was a hell of a ride and the saddle bags bulged on each side
G C G
He rode northeast toward the sunrise that came when the wind died away
C G D
The saddle bags held all the cookie had come by, beef jerky, a gun, and his pay
Am D G C
It was the kid's lucky day
[Verse]
G Am D G
Evan McGuire was a gambler, cheater of cards was his trade
C G D
D horseless carriage that ran out of gas last night was a part of his wage
G C G
The trail was right lonesome that mornin, nary a soul was in sight
C G D
When the young boy rode up the gambler took aim, figurin' to take the kid's ride
G C G
His bullet went strange like the life he had led, it just wasn't his lucky day
Am D G C
With his life he did pay
[Bridge]
G Am D G
The kid rifled thru his belongin's, never had killed him no man
C G D
The cookie's pistol was weathered and worn but it brought down a hard one that day
Am D G C
The kid rode away
[Verse]
G Am D G
Aunt Jessie's Chicken Farm waited, on those seekin' comfort and play
C G D
The young boy was older and wiser by then, but somethin' just pulled him that way
G C G
He'd taken the money, the gun, and the watch, the gambler had need for no more
C G D
Then he tipped back his hat and he crawled off his horse and headed for Aunt Jessie's door
Am D G C
[Verse]
G Am D G
Women all gathered around him, marveled how young he must be
C G D
The kid picked him one, went for her room, when she gracefully led him away
Am D G C
It was his turn to play
[Verse]
G Am D G
D month's worth of wages he spent there, that's where he figured he'd stay
C G D
The woman he'd picked was the best of the lot, older and wiser than he
G C G
Try as she may she still fell in love, started to lay back her pay
Am D G C
They would marry some day
[Verse]
G Am D G
One night while dustin' his clothes off, she noticed the watch by her bed
C G D
She knew the man who belonged to that watch, somehow she knew he was dead
G C G
She was barely fifteen when she met him, and bore him a son on the trail
C G D
The baby got left in the fork of a tree and he dragged her off sicker than hell
Am D G C G
She escaped him somehow
[Verse]
G Am D G
When she asked the kid 'bout his birthplace, she teared up and started to cry
C G D
She held him and hugged him and kissed him, and told him to leave her that night
G C G
The kid pulled himself into manhood, saved him a measure of pride
C G D
Mother and son bid each other goodbye, she waved as he rode out of sight
Am D G C G
She raised the kid
