《Aunt Jessie’s Chicken Ranch》歌词

[00:00:00] Aunt Jessie's Chicken Ranch - Dash Rip Rock/Billie Davis/Kyle Melancon

[00:00:10] On the old Rio Grande about midnight

[00:00:15] The young boy had fallen asleep

[00:00:20] The old yeller dog he found on the trail

[00:00:25] Lay curled in a ball at his feet

[00:00:30] The cowpokes was all drunk and wasted

[00:00:35] In a town right close to the herd

[00:00:40] When a hurricane wind come blowing in

[00:00:45] Weren't time to give them no word

[00:00:50] St Elmo's fire lit up the herd

[00:00:55] Turned them and turned them to one

[00:00:59] When they plowed through the town

[00:01:02] With the eeriest sound

[00:01:04] Not a single soul there was spared

[00:01:10] Not a soul there was spared

[00:01:21] The young boy went whipping in the valley

[00:01:26] Into the darkness of night

[00:01:31] The cookie's young steed was a hell of a ride

[00:01:35] And the saddle bags bulged on each side

[00:01:41] He rode northeast toward the sunrise

[00:01:45] That came when the wind died away

[00:01:50] The saddle bags held all the cookie had come by

[00:01:55] Beef jerky a gun and his pay

[00:02:00] It was the kid's lucky day

[00:02:11] Kevan McGuire was a gambler

[00:02:16] Cheater of cards was his trade

[00:02:20] A horseless carriage that ran out of gas

[00:02:25] Last night was a part of his wage

[00:02:30] The trail was right lonesome that morning

[00:02:35] Nary a soul was in sight

[00:02:40] When the young boy rode up

[00:02:42] The gambler took aim

[00:02:45] Figuring to take the kid's life

[00:02:50] His bullet went strange like the life he had left

[00:02:54] It just wasn't his lucky day

[00:02:59] With his life he did pay

[00:03:10] The kid rifled through his belongings

[00:03:15] Never had killed him no man

[00:03:20] The cookie's pistol was weathered and worn

[00:03:24] But it brought down a hard one that day

[00:03:29] The kid rode away

[00:03:40] Aunt Jessie's Chicken Farm waited

[00:03:45] On those seeking comfort and play

[00:03:50] The young boy was older and wiser by then

[00:03:54] But something just pulled him that way

[00:03:59] He'd taken the money

[00:04:02] The gun and the watch

[00:04:04] The gambler had need for no more

[00:04:09] Then he tipped up his hat

[00:04:11] And he crawled off his horse

[00:04:14] And headed for Aunt Jessie's door

[00:04:18] This would be his first wore

[00:04:29] Women all gathered around him

[00:04:34] Marveled how young he must be

[00:04:38] The kid picked him one

[00:04:41] Went for her room

[00:04:43] When she gracefully led him away

[00:04:48] It was his turn to play

[00:04:59] A month's worth of wages he spent there

[00:05:04] That's where he figured he'd stay

[00:05:08] The woman he'd picked was the best of the lot

[00:05:13] Older and wiser than him

[00:05:18] Try as she may she still fell in love

[00:05:23] Started to rode back her pay

[00:05:27] They would marry some day

[00:05:39] One night while dusting his clothes off

[00:05:43] She noticed the watch by her bed

[00:05:48] She knew the man who belonged to that watch

[00:05:53] Somehow she knew he was dead

[00:05:57] She was barely fifteen when she met him

[00:06:02] And bore him a son on the trail

[00:06:07] The baby got left in the fork of a tree

[00:06:12] And he dragged her off sicker than hell

[00:06:17] She escaped him somehow

[00:06:28] When she asked the kid about his birthplace

[00:06:32] She teared up and started to cry

[00:06:37] She held him and hugged him and kissed him

[00:06:42] And told him to leave her that night

[00:06:47] The kid pulled himself into manhood

[00:06:52] Saved him a measure of pride

[00:06:57] Mother and son bid each other goodbye

[00:07:01] She waved as he rode out of sight

[00:07:06] She raised the kid right
