Rock River
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...

Rio Rocha
Eu estava lá no mato
Tentando pegar um jantar
E levar pra minha doce mãe...
Mas quando o pônei voltou
Pra nosso vale...
Eu sabia que tinha demorado demais:
- E eu cruzei o Rio Rocha no dia antes dela morrer
Cheguei em casa logo depois do escuro...
Procurando pela mãe
Mas ela não estava em nossa terra...
Então eu chutei a porta da frente
Vi a corda acima dela
E a sombra do bandido sujo...
- E eu cruzei o Rio Rocha no dia antes dela morrer
Eu o persegui pelo Arkansas
Do Texas até Missouri...
Ele me levou pro norte
De Saint Antoine até Saint Louis
Ele estava assombrado
Mas eu tinha tempo
Eu queria ele de volta
Pro lugar do crime
- E ele cruzou o Rio Rocha no dia antes de morrer...
Bem, chegamos no Rio Rocha
E chegamos do outro lado...
Ele olhou pra trás
Meio com medo pela vida
Eu puxei o gatilho
E acertei ele
Bem entre os olhos
E então eu o amarrei pra mãe
Pra as baratas e as moscas...
