jamestown revival - bound for el paso lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
they circled the cabin, she stepped out to meet them
with a winchester rifle that’d kept them away
twelve young apaches on calico ponies
leader among them on a white paint bay

[verse 2]
he looked down upon her, sincere admiration
many had fought him and many had died
was she alone, where was her husband?
he asked her the question to which she replied

[chorus]
i wait for the man who’s bound for el paso
riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
leaving behind his home in the canyon
wife and two children with tears in their eyes

[verse 3]
in a quiet saloon near culberson county
an argument led to the end of a gun
from the bar stood a traveler who did what he could
to even the odds that were three against one

[verse 4]
a thunderous sound, followed by silence
the traveler lay dead with a hole in his side
his newfound companion knelt down beside him
asked who he was, the bartender replied
[chorus]
lying there’s a man who was bound for el paso
riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
leaving behind his home in the canyon
wife and two children with tears in their eyes

[verse 5]
this newfound companion set out for the canyon
headed for nowhere, but he never slowed down
one early morning, he awoke to the sounds of
calico ponies and hoofs on the ground

[verse 6]
he fought for his life but finally fell captive
certain he’d come to the end of his days
his fight was over, his fate was sealed
by the will of the leader on the white paint bay

[verse 7]
come morning light, he awoke near a cabin
the leader looked on as his hands were untied
he looked around briefly, silently wondered
would this be the moment he finally died

[verse 8]
the cabin door opened and out stepped a woman
a winchester rifle held close to her side
that newfound companion looked up at the woman
she asked who he was, to which he replied
[chorus]
i’m in debt to a man who was bound for el paso
riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
leaving behind his home in the canyon
wife and two children with tears in their eyes
