Lyrics

One hour ahead of the posse The bloodhounds are hot on my trail Last evening I shot down my sweetheart This morning I broke out of jail My Pinto is tired and hungry And I'm feeling weary and gone We started ahead of the posse And we got to keep going on The sherrif aswored he would get me He's riding with 20 and 5 But I'm ain't afeared of that posse Till they never get me alive One hour ahead of the posse No turning to left or to right We must win the race to the river Or there'll be a hanging tonight We're gonna hang him tonight! One hour ahead of the posse No time for remorse or regret But somehow her blue eyes still haunt me Her laughter is taunting me yet It started the night that I met her She kissed me and vowed she would care I traded the gold in my pocket To fondle the gold in her hair She lied when she said that she loved me She lied with each kiss that she gave She lied till the moment I caught her And now she lies still in her grave One hour ahead of the posse The night is a-coming on fast Jut one little mile to the Rio And well shake that posse at last We're nearing the end of our journey We got a second to spare The hoof beat are closer and closer The barking of dogs till the end One hour ahead of the posse And now I'm inside of my goal At last we have beaten that posse (Gun shot in background) May the Lord have mercy on my soul May the Lord have mercy on his soul
