burl ives - on the grand canyon line lyrics
[chorus]
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
on the grand canyon line i was singing no song
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
couldn’t go back to texas, ’cause i know i’d done wrong
[verse 1]
i passed the state bank and no money i had
it wasn’t that i really had meant to be bad
but i robbed the state bank with a trembling hand
with the pistol and the money, through the big door i ran
[chorus]
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
on the grand canyon line i was singing no song
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
couldn’t go back to texas, ’cause i know i’d done wrong
[verse 2]
sitting alone in a boxcar’s four walls
because of a breaking the rich man’s laws
i thought of my sweetheart, i began to cry
when i am caught by the neck i will die
[chorus]
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
on the grand canyon line i was singing no song
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
couldn’t go back to texas, ’cause i know i’d done wrong
[verse 3]
the boxcar door opened and a posse walked in
the sheriff said, “grab him, boys, i think that is him”
they took me to a jailhouse and now i must die
five hours to live boys how the time it does fly
[chorus]
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
on the grand canyon line i was singing no song
on the grand canyon line i was riding along
couldn’t go back to texas, ’cause i know i’d done wrong
