Lyrics for Tall Handsome Stranger by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Tall Handsome Stranger | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 99 | | | | Lyrics: | A tall handsome stranger rode into town
With fire in his eyes burning red as sundown
His
boots were all dusty, his coat open wide
Six ways of dying hung low on his side
He
went in the town hall asking for me
They told him that I was still town deputy
I sent him
to prison to pay for his crime
He killed a guard on the Sante Fe line
He spread word
around town that my time had come
My notch was already carved on his gun
He's laughing and
braggin and having his fun
It's all a show for he knows I won't run
That night in
silence the town was asleep
I sat by my window and looked down the street
I wished in my
heart that he would just ride away
I hated to face him next sunup that day
I met him
at sunup, the crowd gathered round
Waitin and watching for one to go down
He grabbed for
his six gun, tryin his best
He cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest
He stood
there a moment and looked all around
Slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground
The
stranger's my brother, born an outlaw
He must have forgotton I taught him to
draw
The whole town was waiting and I was alone
The blood that I spilled was just
like my own
When she hears this story, how Mother will cry
Brother 'gainst brother and one
had to die
To die
To die | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
