Subject: Lyr Add: SONORA'S DEATH ROW From: Arkie Date: 13 Jan 00 - 12:19 AM Don't much about this song except that it has been recorded by Robert Earl Keen and Tom Russell, and I have heard it a couple of Cowboy Gatherings. SONORA'S DEATH ROW Written by Kevin "Blackie" Farrell As recorded by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
Me and the boys we cinched up our saddles and rode to Sonora last night,
Mescal is free at Amanda's saloon for the boys from the old Broken O.
Inside Amanda's, we was a-dancing with all of Amanda's gals. [Instrumental break]
I woke up face down in Amanda's back alley aware of the fool I had been,
Amanda's got silent like night in the desert; my friends stared in pure disbelief.
A nightmare of mescal was all that it was, for no one had robbed me at all. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sonora's Death Row From: Arkie Date: 13 Jan 00 - 02:14 PM Kevin Farrell is listed as the writer everywhere I have seen the lyrics and on the Robert Earl Keen recording. Wish I was capable of putting the tune here. It is a fine one, will stick with you, and fits the words quite well. |
