Colorado Dave
Some time ago 'neath a Western sky Seen a midnight train rolling by I swear by God it was seven miles long As it rode past the ghost of Colorado Dave Toward the Dawn
They say he ran with Jesse James South of the border chasing banks and trains Few other men were as cunning and so brave As the desperado called Colorado Dave
He donned his hat and his raw hide boots Left his home down on the rural route Bade farewell to his mother and fair maid And rode off alone Colorado Dave
Ride Colorado Get up get up ride away Ride Colorado The whole damn world is on your trail
In a one horse town so the legend goes Dave rolled the dice with some boys from Idaho Someone tipped a whiskey glass and a gun fight ensued When the smoke finally cleared only Dave was standing in that saloon
They chased him high and chased him low The whole damn posse was on the go They vowed to lay him in his grave Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But they couldn not catch Colorado Dave
Ride Colorado Get up get up ride away Ride Colorado The whole damn world is on your trail
On a grassy river bank in the still of the night The gang was laying low by a camp fire light Dave laid his hat down with his blanket and his boots Swam the brown Missouri all along that Western route
They chased him high and chased him low The whole damn posse was on the go They vowed to lay him in his grave But they couldn not catch Colorado Dave
Ride Colorado Get up get up ride away Ride Colorado The whole damn world is on your trail
Some time ago 'neath a Western sky Seen a midnight train rolling by I swear by God it was seven miles long As it rode past the ghost of Colorado Dave Toward the Dawn
