Marty Robbins - The Stolen Horse lyrics

I crossed the line where there's no law and order Trying to catch up with a desperate man He fled Arizona for the Mexican border And the horse he was riding was wearing my brand I came to a town saw lights down the street I tied up my horse not knowing what's in store The tumble weeds tumbled board walks were squeaking As I reached the cantina with low swinging doors I went through the doors wondering if I'd see tomorrow The man I was after was waiting for me He said gracious senor for the horse I borrowed I needed a fast one to get here you see For mercy he pleaded said my horse he needed For his little girl needed what he had brought For she was so sick and those words he repeated I saw his intentions had been with one thought The pills he gave her that he brought to save her was worth a lot more then any horse that I owned Her fever was high and when I heard her cry I thought of my own little girl at home I headed back home with the horse he had ridden Thinking how quick my motives changed course For when I saw his face his tears were not hidden You can't judge a man over one stolen horse
