Arkansas Dave

He rode up on a winter daySteam risin' off a streak faced bayHe said “you probably know my name.”If you don't, it's Arkansas DaveHe talked of fifteen years agoAnd how he got the bay he rodeHe said he killed a man in OhioFirst man he killed first horse he stoleIt was a long road for Arkansas DaveHe shot and left him where he laySaid he'd never forget that winter dayHe rode off on a streak faced bayI stood up and I shook his handTold no one that I knew this manStarted thinking up a plan‘Bout how I'd deal him his last handDidn't take him long to come unwoundHe jumped up and gunned two men downRan outside to leave the townBut ole' bay was nowhere to be foundI head out with my .44And when he walked back through the doorI shot till I could shoot no moreAnd Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floorIt was the end of the road for Arkansas DaveI shot and left him where he layI'll never forget that winter dayI rode off on the streak faced bayNo I'll never forget that winter dayWhen I rode home on Daddy's streak face bayby: Elvitoreo
