Viewing Lyrics for The Red-Headed Stranger:
| | | Artist: | Willie Nelson |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Red-Headed Stranger | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 1 | | | | Lyrics: | The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana
Rode into town one day;
And under his knees
was a raging black stallion
And walking behind was a bay.
The red-headed stranger had eyes
like thunder
His Lips they were sad and tight;
His little lost love lay asleep on the
hillside
And his heart was heavy as night.
cho: Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's
wild in his sorrow,
he’s riding and hiding his pain;
Don't fight him, don't spite
him, just wait till tomorrow
maybe he'll ride on again.
A yellow-haired lady leaned out
of her window,
and watched as he passed her way.
She drew back in fear at the sight of the
stallion
but cast greedy eyes on the bay;
But how could she know that this dancing bay
pony
meant more to him than life?
For this was the horse that his little lost
darling
Had ridden when she was his wife.

The yellow-haired lady
came down to the tavern,
Looked up the stranger there;
He bought her a drink, he gave her
some money
he just didn't seem to care.
She followed him out as he saddled the
stallion,
and laughed as she grabbed at the bay;
He shot her so quick they had no time to
warn her,
she never heard anyone say:

The yellow-haired lady was
buried at sunset
The stranger went free, of course,
'For you can't hang a man for killing a
woman
Whose trying to steal your horse.
this is the tale of the red-headed stranger
And
if he should pass your way,
Stay out of the path of the raging black stallion
And don't lay
a hand on the bay.
