Rock RiverI was out in the wildTrying to catch some supper And bring it home to sweet mama But when the pony headed back To our home valley I knew I'd been gone too long And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died I reached home just after dark Looking for mama But she was nowhere on our land So I kicked the front door open Saw the rope above her And the shadow of the dirty gunman And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died I chased him through Arkansas From Texas to Missouri He took me up north From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis He was haunted But I had the time I wanted him back To the scene of the crime And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died Well, we reached Rock River And we reached the other side He looked back Kinda afraid for his life I pulled my trigger And I hitted him Right between the eyes And then I roped him up to mama To the roaches and the flies Rock River, Rock River Rock River, Rock River Rock River |
