Letra de The Ballad of Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh
My daddy was an outlaw, mom died giving birth to me They both left me all alone when I was on bended knee If you don't like my story, I suggest you turn the page I don't need no preachin', I ain't got no soul to saveMy name is Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh, this here is Tennessee Jack Don't you give us any lip now boy or today will be your last When the bank was dry, we said goodbye, walked out to the street Where a cloud of bullets came a-thundering down and took Tennessee to his kneesI stood there and watched him bleeding like a fool out in the rain Didn't have time to think when I jumped through the bank's front windowpane Well, I grabbed the teller in a blink of an eye, put a colt up to his head Said, careful son, don't try to run, or tomorrow you'll wake up deadYelled me, I've got to fly just like an eagle, free like a bird upon the wind Hell fire and brimstone, well, they are coming down on me Mister, I was born of sinWell, I sat down in the corner and rolled a little home-grown Said, if I'm gonna die today, I sure as hell, ain't goin' alone Well, I ran out the bank a-shooting, I was two for two at first 'Til I felt the painful sound as a bullet tore my shirtYelled me, I've got to fly just like an eagle, free like a bird upon the wind Hell fire and brimstone, well, they are coming down on me Mister, I was born of sinWell, I crawled back to the alley way where I knew my horse was tied And that's where all the legends say Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh died But I was in a place so far from there, in a time so long ago In the arms of a pretty little señorita on the Gulf of MexicoYelled me, I've got to fly just like an eagle, free like a bird upon the wind Hell fire and brimstone, well, they are coming down on me Mister, I was born of sin I was born of sin
