D:a:d Rock River Lyrics

Rock River Lyrics

I was out in the wild 
Trying to catch some supper 
And bring it home to sweet mama.. 
But when the pony headed back 
To our home valley.. 
I knew I`d been gone too long: 

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died 

I reached home just afer dark.. 
Looking for mama 
But she was nowhere on our land... 
So I kicked the frontdoor open 
Saw the rope above her 
And the shadow of the dirty gunman... 

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died 

I chased him through Arkansas 
From Texas to Missouri... 
He took me up north 
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis 
He was haunted 
But I had the time 
I wanted him back 
To the scene of the crime 

- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died... 

Well, we reached Rock River 
And we reached the other side... 
He looked back 
Kinda fraid for his life 
I pulled my trigger 
And I hitted him 
Right between the eyes 
And then I roped him up to mama 
To the roaches & the flys... 

Rock River Rock River 
Rock River Rock River 
Rock River
