What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Born under a south Kentucky sky
2
He'd come west to Mexico to fight 1842 at Mier
3
The gutters filled with blood and fear
4
Barely made it back to Texas alive
5
With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
6
In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
7
There he met his dark-eyed love
8
But said good bye when the war was done
9
He swore that he'd come back for her again
10
Oh oh novia
11
Oh oh your man is gone
12
Maybe he's in Texas
13
But we'll take what God has left us
14
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
15
Worked his way back to Old Mexico
16
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
17
Back to those same city walls
18
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
19
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
20
They put him in a prison left alone
21
With other yankee fools so far from home
22
Parade them through the square in chains
23
"ΛTill in rode Captain Glanton's gang
24
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
25
Glanton's men were killers all by trade
26
And through the prison bars a deal was made
27
Glanton needed three new men
28
Hired the lovelorn veteran
29
The killers rode out through the governor's gates
30
The Veteran left camp "Λfore the rising sun
31
No killer he'd left other work undone
32
He was not yet two days out
33
When Glanton's naked native scouts
34
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
