Now don't you remember that Rocky Mountain side Where we laid down to rest You promised you'd be my blue-eyed boy With the sun going down in the west I wish to the Lord I'd never been born Or died when I was young I never would have seen your blue eyes shine Or heard you're lying tongue Now hand me down my old white coat It's hanging there on the rail Before this time tomorrow night
I'll be on that long lost trail Well I never will believe what one man says Though his eyes be blue or brown Unless he's hanging from a scaffold high Saying darling I can't come down Well I never will believe what one man says Though his eyes be blue or brown Unless he's hanging from a scaffold high Saying darling I can't come down
