《When The Cimarron Was Red And On The Rise(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] When The Cimarron Was Red And On The Rise (Album Version) - Red Steagall

[00:00:11] Riding back to Texas

[00:00:13] From a drive to abilene

[00:00:15] With the wagon

[00:00:16] The remuda and the crew

[00:00:20] The cimarron was boiling red and rising

[00:00:23] By the hour

[00:00:24] It was suicide to push the horses through

[00:00:29] Cotty bill was pining by his darling Anna Lee

[00:00:34] He left her crying back in san anton

[00:00:38] A thousand times he red the note he carried in

[00:00:42] His jeans

[00:00:43] Cotty darling won't you hurry home

[00:00:47] But trailing longhorn cattle is a life at

[00:00:51] Wild and free

[00:00:53] And the prairie is a puncher's paradise

[00:00:58] But it was dark and deadly in the Spring of 83

[00:01:03] When the cimarron was red and on the rise

[00:01:08] We were at the wagon

[00:01:10] Playin' cards and

[00:01:12] Tellin' lies

[00:01:13] When he announced that he was goin' on

[00:01:17] We told him he was crazy

[00:01:20] He would never make it through

[00:01:22] But cotty smiled and saddled up the roan

[00:01:27] Then I made him a promise

[00:01:29] I'd look after Anna Lee

[00:01:31] In case he didn't make it through the night

[00:01:36] He turned his collar to the wind and bid us adios

[00:01:41] And whistling dixie he ruled out of sight

[00:01:45] And trailing longhorn cattle is a life at

[00:01:48] Wild and free

[00:01:51] But the devil is playing hell in paradise

[00:01:55] 'Cause it was dark and deadly in the Spring of 83

[00:02:01] When the cimarron was red and on the rise

[00:02:11] It was nearly seven days before we got across

[00:02:15] The roan was in the shadow of a hill

[00:02:20] He was skinned from head to toe and covered

[00:02:23] Up with mud

[00:02:24] But there was not a sign of cotty bill

[00:02:29] Oh I guess we knew that he was gone

[00:02:31] When we looked anyhow

[00:02:33] The road for a mile and searched on either side

[00:02:38] We combed the brush and dragged our ropes in

[00:02:41] Every waterhole

[00:02:43] But cotty bill had taken his last ride

[00:02:47] And I kept my promise and I married Anna Lee

[00:02:53] And the boy we're raising has his daddy's eyes

[00:02:58] Someday I'll tell him more about the Spring of 83

[00:03:03] When the cimarron was red and on the rise

[00:03:08] 'Cause it was dark and deadly in the Spring of 83

[00:03:13] When the cimarron was red and on the rise
