Lonely Cowboy
Well Gambling Jim took the riverboat down to Rio
Left the trail at a town called Home Sweet Home
Lost his place in the Guinness Book Of Records
As a Rolling Stone...
I`m the only cowboy... Lonely on the range
The only lonely cowboy on the range
V2: Handsome Bill had an eye out for the ladies
Said he's gonna let me know if looks can kill
But I heard tell that he ran right out of favours
And he's running still...
Chameleon Kid as the name suggests was a killer
Who made his name by the element of disguise
When he lost his way by relying on the trigger
It was no surprise...
Oh Preacher Sam was a bible fan so religious
Prayed all day but he never got no reply
Till the message came that he didn't intend to save us
It was suicide....
Well they gunned him down at the Freedom Church Revival
Died they say with the fever light in his eyes
When the bullet lodged in the pages of his bible
From the other side...
