Lejos and Mary |
|
Lay dazed in Liula |
|
Dreaming of tropical signs |
|
As Lejos lay sleeping |
|
She knelt over him weeping |
|
Feeling the weight of his crimes |
|
It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town |
|
And he's just licking his wounds for a spell |
|
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on |
|
And soon he'll be running like hell |
|
Run Lejos run |
|
This ain't no time for that ball and chain |
|
Run Lejos run |
|
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done |
|
Ride like you never done |
|
Well their love it was long |
|
It was gentle and strong |
|
And for a while she forgot his sins |
|
And she kissed him for love |
|
She kissed him for luck |
|
She kissed him one time for a kid |
|
Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning |
|
They come-a blasting through the windows and walls |
|
And when the smoke it did clear |
|
somebody cried out he ain't here |
|
Killed ourselves a woman that's all |
|
Run Lejos run |
|
This ain't no time for that ball and chain |
|
Run Lejos run |
|
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done |
|
Ride like you never done |
