Dad - Rock River 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...
