Lyrics

I was out in the wild
Trying to catch some supper
And bring it home to sweet mama.
But when the pony headed back
To our home valley.
I knew I'd been gone too long:

- and I crossed the rock river the day before she died

I reached home just afer dark.
Looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land..
So I kicked the frontdoor open
Saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman..

- and I crossed the rock river the day before she died

I chased him through arkansas
From texas to missouri..
He took me up north
From saint antoine to saint louis
He was haunted
But I had the time
I wanted him back
To the scene of the crime

- and he crossed the rock river the day before he died..

Well, we reached rock river
And we reached the other side..
He looked back
Kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger
And I hitted him
Right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama
To the roaches & the flys..

Rock river rock river
Rock river rock river
Rock river
