?[00:05.88]Born under a south Kentucky sky
[00:11.24]He'd come west to Mexico to fight eighteen fourty two at Mier
[00:19.72]The gutters filled with blood and fear
[00:22.55]Barely made it back to texas alive
[00:27.90]With missouri volunteers when the war began
[00:33.83]Fourty six they crossed the Rio Grande
[00:39.73]There he met his dark-eyed love
[00:42.44]But said good bye when the war was done
[00:45.31]He swore that he'd come back for her again
[00:51.16]Oh oh novia
[01:02.12]Oh oh your man is gone
[01:13.91]Maybe he's in Texas
[01:16.03]But we'll take what God has left us
[01:19.22]And we'll leave for California with the dawn
[01:25.17]Worked his way back to Old Mexico
[01:30.79]To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
[01:36.60]Back to those same city walls
[01:39.28]Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
[01:42.16]Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
[01:48.20]They put him in a prison left alone
[01:53.77]With other yankee fools so far from home
[01:59.53]Parade them through the square in chains
[02:02.29]Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
[02:05.46]Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
[02:11.19]Oh oh novia
[02:22.28]Oh oh your man is gone
[02:33.91]Maybe he's in Texas
[02:36.01]But we'll take what God has left us
[02:39.17]And we'll leave for California with the dawn
[02:45.28]Glanton's men were killers all by trade
[02:50.83]And through the prison bars a deal was made
[02:56.57]Glanton needed three new men
[02:59.08]Hired the lovelorn veteran
[03:02.04]The killers rode out through the governor's gates
[03:07.81]The Veteran left camp fore the rising sun
[03:13.19]No killer he'd left other work undone
[03:19.34]He was not yet two days out
[03:22.10]When Glanton's naked native scouts
[03:24.76]Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
[03:30.74]Oh oh novia
[03:42.04]Oh oh your man is gone
[03:53.51]Maybe he's in Texas
[03:55.57]But we'll take what God has left us
[03:58.83]And we'll leave for California with the dawn
[04:04.86]Oh oh novia
[04:15.88]Oh oh your man is gone
[04:27.55]Maybe he's in Texas
[04:29.46]But we'll take what God has left us
[04:32.65]And we'll leave for California with the dawn
[04:36.29]
