David Crosby - Cowboy Movie Lyrics
Me and my good partnerswe were riding back to our campwe were feeling very fineand the air was clear and slightly dampand we were riding back to have ourselves a partyto celebrate the robbing of the train.We were talking kind of low and lazyabout not having to go out soon againyou know we hadn't been back home two hourswe heard a hawk cry out in the nightand you know that's a signal from young Billy, who's our sentryHe's saying something here ain't exactly rightso we quick grabbed some of our hardwarestumbled out of our homein two minutes flat we had found heran Indian girl all aloneand Eli said, "Let's take her back to the cabin"I said, "You don't know she might be the law, yeah"He said, smiling kind of nasty,"It ain't too damn likely she'll beat me to the draw."As we were walking back through the darkness,I heard the Duke, he's our dynamiter, say,he said, "What's your name, sweet little Indian girl?"She said, "Raven." and she looked away.Right then I didn't trust her, no and I said so, oh no.Now, Eli, he's our fastest gunnerHe's kind of mean and young from the Southhe said, "Fat Albert, you're getting kind of old and weird now.""You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out."Now Eli and the Duke they got down to itthey each wanted the Indian girl for their ownbut when they finally got around to asking heryou know she said she'd come to take young Billy homeEli said he'd kill young Billyhe'd kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeahThe Indian girl said, "Go ahead now do it"I said "Stop it", and she bit my thumb nearly clean throughand when they finally started to break down the doorI smeared my face up with blood from my thumbI laid down on the floor and played real good possumYou know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumbnow I'm dying here in AlbuquerqueI must be the sorriest sight you ever sawyou know the reason I'm the only man here to tell ityou know that Indian girl, she wasn't an Indian she was the law( Guerrilla Music/BMI)
