[00:00:00] One Hour Ahead of the Posse - Burl Ives

[00:00:00] Written by：Eliot Daniel/Larry Morey

[00:00:16] One hour ahead of the posse

[00:00:19] The bloodhounds are hot on my trail

[00:00:22] Last night I shot my sweetheart

[00:00:26] This morning I broke out of jail

[00:00:29] My pinto is tired and hungry

[00:00:32] And I'm feeling weary and warm

[00:00:35] We started ahead of the posse

[00:00:38] And we got to keep going on

[00:00:41] The sherrif aswored he would get me

[00:00:45] He's riding with 20 and 5

[00:00:48] But I'm not afeared of that posse

[00:00:51] They never will get me alive

[00:00:56] One hour ahead of the posse

[00:00:59] No turning to left or to right

[00:01:02] We must win the race to the river

[00:01:05] Or there'll be a hanging tonight

[00:01:09] Or there'll be a hanging tonight

[00:01:12] One hour ahead of the posse

[00:01:15] No time for remorse or regret

[00:01:18] But somehow her eyes still haunt me

[00:01:21] Her laughter is taunting me yet

[00:01:25] It started the night that we might

[00:01:28] She kissed me and vowed she would care

[00:01:31] I traded the gold in pocket

[00:01:34] To fondle the curls in her hair

[00:01:37] She lied when she told me she loved me

[00:01:41] She lied with each kiss that she gave

[00:01:44] She lied to the moment I caught her

[00:01:47] And now she lies still in her grave

[00:01:53] On hour ahead of the posse

[00:01:55] The night is a coming on fast

[00:01:59] We must win the race to the Rio

[00:02:02] And well shake that old posse at last

[00:02:05] We're nearing the end of our journey

[00:02:23] And now I'm inside of my goal

[00:02:30] At last we've beaten the posse

[00:02:36] May the lord have mercy on my soul

[00:02:48] May the lord have mercy on my soul
