Michael Martin Murphey - Emila Farewell lyrics

[Verse 1] In the grey early light day Sometimes i can still hear her say Please don't ride with the boys today But outlaws never listened anyway It was a cold cowboy goodbye I didn't have an alibi She said the price on your head is high And wanted men, don't come back alive [Chorus] Blue skies aging snow, pinion burning glow Morning mission bell Emilia Farewell [Verse 2] We had the drop on the feds Yeah they were all left for dead How could i know it was my head My brothers would fill up with led They saw the fear in my eyes As they left and let those bullets I fell face down in the night They took the gold and left me there to die [Chorus] Blue skies aging snow, pinion burning glow Morning mission bell Emilia Farewell,Farewell Emilia Farewell,Farewell
