lyrics

in the dead of night or high noon on all saints day
everybody heard the shooting start, or so they say
it was a dime novel gunfight
it was the fashion of the time
no one took it for a crime

like a summer storm the old folks felt it coming in
death came driving seven horses, one for every sin
they wrote a blood-soaked ballad
it made a killing so they say
at the sunday matinee

ride on amigo, i know you're bound to leave me
but i wish you better fortune all the same
i may not own what they write upon my stone
i just hope they don't forget my name

no one doubted that the heroes made a brave attack
but that don't explain how they wound up shot in the back
did they ride into the sunsent
did they tumble in the street
no two witnesses agree

now we looked on their destruction and we called it good
all for whiskey and a six-gun and a hand of stud
it was the end of the outlaw
it was a legend of the west
and the poets tell it best

ride on amigo, i know our sun is setting
but i wish you better fortune all the same
i may not own what they write upon my stone
i just hope they know how to spell my name
