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