Subject: Chord Req: Ballad of Dan Moody (Roving Cowboy) From: GUEST,spillthewine Date: 11 Nov 11 - 01:20 PM Michael Smith & others most notably(?) Steve Goodman. Lyrics: He used to be a roving cowboy He used to be a rodeo cowhand He tried to rob the Kansas railway Along with two other friends of mine I said For God's sake do not do this They put it off for quite some time Until the twelfth of January Such a cold and a bitter time Snow was drifting on the line A mind confused is sometimes altered So said a doctor friend of my acquaintance Don't tell a madman with a shotgun That he is not allowed to shoot no one I foolishly kept my own counsel Too easily tired of the fight They done the deed and was successful And come back the self-same night Lookin' the same around the eyes Me havin' recently found Jesus I tried to speak to them as friends should do Of the eternal consequences And the awfulness of lives of sin They soon fell in with sweet companions Who helped them spend their evil wage Until the thought of precious Jesus Drove me to a holy rage And I knew they must be saved Then who comes riding through the blizzard Then who comes riding through the wild deep snow Some sheriff's deputies seekin' shelter And information 'bout them three rodeo chums I did not know that they'd be sleeping That they'd come out with guns afire And that all three was to be murdered This was never my desire This I swear I did not know When I told the posse where to go |
