《Sam Bass》歌词

[00:00:00] Sam Bass - Alan Lomax/Mary Johnson/Rachel McLoud/Annie Johnston

[00:00:05] Sam Bass was born in Indiana

[00:00:09] It was his native home

[00:00:12] And at the age of seventeen

[00:00:16] Young Sam began to roam

[00:00:19] Sam first came out to Texas

[00:00:22] A cowboy for to be

[00:00:25] A kinda hearted fella

[00:00:28] You'd seldom ever see

[00:00:34] Sam used to deal in race stock

[00:00:37] One called the Denton mare

[00:00:40] He matched her in scrub races

[00:00:43] And took her to the fair

[00:00:46] Sam used to coin the money boys

[00:00:49] And spent it just as free

[00:00:52] He always drank good whiskey

[00:00:55] Wherever he might be

[00:00:59] Sam left the Collins' ranch

[00:01:02] In the merry month of May

[00:01:05] With a herd of Texas cattle

[00:01:08] The Black Hills for to see

[00:01:11] Sold out in Custer City

[00:01:14] And then got on a spree

[00:01:17] A harder set of cowboys

[00:01:20] You'd seldom ever see

[00:01:24] On their way back to Texas

[00:01:27] They robbed the N P train

[00:01:30] Then split up in couples

[00:01:32] And started out again

[00:01:35] Joe Collins and his partner

[00:01:38] Were overtaken soon

[00:01:41] With all their hard earned money boys

[00:01:44] They had to meet their doom

[00:01:48] Sam made it back to Texas

[00:01:51] All right side up with care

[00:01:54] Rode into the town of Denton

[00:01:56] With all his friends to share

[00:01:59] Sam's life was short in Texas

[00:02:02] Three robberies did he do

[00:02:05] He robbed all the passenger mail

[00:02:07] And express cars too

[00:02:13] Sam met his fate in Round Rock

[00:02:16] July the twenty-first

[00:02:19] They pierced poor Sam with rifle balls

[00:02:21] And emptied out his purse

[00:02:24] Poor Sam he is a corpse

[00:02:26] And six foot under clay

[00:02:29] And Jackson's in the bushes boys

[00:02:32] Trying to get away

[00:02:37] Jim had borrowed Sam's good gold

[00:02:39] And didn't want to pay

[00:02:42] The only shot he saw

[00:02:44] Was to give poor Sam away

[00:02:47] He sold out Sam and Barnes

[00:02:50] And left their friends to mourn

[00:02:53] Oh what a scorching Jim will get

[00:02:55] When Gabriel blows his horn

[00:02:59] Yes he sold out Sam and Barnes

[00:03:02] And left their friends to mourn

[00:03:05] Oh what a scorching Jim will get

[00:03:07] When Gabriel blows his horn

[00:03:10] Perhaps he's got to heaven

[00:03:13] There's none of us can say

[00:03:17] But if I'm right in my surmise

[00:03:20] He's gone the other way
