the pine box boys - the wedding gown lyrics

[verse 1]
i traded my horse at amarillo
for a philly that looked like she could run
if he finds me before i make the rio
i swear to god he’ll find me with my gun
and i’ve never seen him
but i’m sure he’s our there
and i must have known him
and i must have wronged him
i vowed to ride, and spurred the flesh from my horse’s side
and i kicked her and i gored her and i pressed her for the border
for a place where i could hide
and lord, i pray, at least let me make it to monterey
and if my prayer you will hear, i swear i’ll disappear
and i’ll throw my guns away

[verse 2]
i fell asleep sitting in the saddle
and i dreamed of the ghostly rider on my trail
but when i wake, i start to shake and rattle
and i know the philly’s legs are about to fail
and so i cross the river
and i turn to face him
and i’ll make my stand here
and i will die here
i took a sip, for i felt my courage start to slip
and i’ll shoot any gringo who tries to cross the rio
wearing iron on his hip
and up the trail… he’s a good rider, i can tell
but i swear i’ll shoot the stranger, i don’t care if he’s a ranger
or a demon sent from h-ll

[verse 3]
as the rider approached the edge of the river
i could tell that he was wrapped up in a shroud
but then her voice skipped across the water
and the prideful spirit within me bowed
and you should have seen her
as pretty as i left her
and the air smelled bl–dy
it was the smell of vengeance
and she did frown, and she challenged me to draw down
she said that i owed her for the blood that had flowed
upon her wedding gown
and i felt fear, for i had k!lled my brother dear
and she had found him on dead the day they were to wed
in a pool of blood and tears
