Witchgirl: Thanks for posting that! I just listened to it on Spotify, and I must say, Bill's control of his falsetto on those "Do do do" lines is truly impressive. I wonder if he can still do that? (He recorded it in 1977 when he was 30; he's now 68.)

Corrections: It's Big Bend country (here's a map)

VERSE 7. And listen well if on the west wind,
The sounds of horses they fill the air.
Don't venture on; they guard the treasure
From anyone who enters there.
