1
One hour ahead of the posse
2
the bloodhounds are hot on my trail
3
last night I shot my sweetheart
4
this morning I broke out of jail
5
my Pinto is tired and hungry
6
and I'm feeling weary and warm
7
we started ahead of the posse
8
and we got to keep going on
9
the sherrif aswored he would get me
10
he's riding with 20 and 5
11
but I'm not afeared of that posse
12
they never will get me alive
13
One hour ahead of the posse
14
no turning to left or to right
15
we must win the race to the river
16
or there'll be a hanging tonight
17
one hour ahead of the posse
18
no time for remorse or regret
19
but somehow her eyes still haunt me
20
her laughter is taunting me yet
21
it started the night that we might
22
she kissed me and vowed she would care
23
I traded the gold in pocket
24
to fondle the curls in her hair
25
she lied when she told me she loved me
26
she lied with each kiss that she gave
27
she lied to the moment I caught her
28
and now she lies still in her grave
29
on hour ahead of the posse
30
the night is a-coming on fast
31
we must win the race to the rio
32
and well shake that old posse at last
33
we're nearing the end of our journey
34
and now I'm inside of my goal
35
at last we've beaten the posse
36
- gun shot -
37
may the Lord have mercy on my soul
