Charlie Parr - Far Cry from Fargo lyrics

Eldon caught outta Portland with Fargo on his mind Eldon caught outta Portland with Fargo on his mind Found an empty icebox and stuffed himself inside They made good time to Billings but he hadn't eaten in 3 days They made good time to Billings but he hadn't eaten in 3 days Daren't poke his head out they shook for tramps all along the way His reefer was cut out in Dilworth but he still kept outta sight His reefer was cut out in Dilworth but he still kept outta sight He just couldn't stop shaking but he stayed in the hole all night When he finally climbed out of that icebox he was too weak too stand When he finally climbed out of that icebox he was too weak too stand He collapsed down to the gravel and prayed, "Lord give me your hand" But the good Lord didn't hear him and the police found him first But the good Lord didn't hear him and the police found him first The chief stared hard to his face and Eldon heard him curse You're the dirty rounder that shot his girl out west You're the dirty rounder that shot his girl out west We'll send you back to see the judge about what little life you might have left Eldon cried and confessed how he'd shot his girl was true Eldon cried and confessed how he'd shot his girl was true But he said get it right, you know I shot her boyfriend too
