lirik lagu willie nelson - red headed stranger (live 1978)
[verse 1]
the red-headed stranger from blue rock, montana
rode into town one day
and under his knees was a raging black stallion
and walking behind was a bay
the red-headed stranger had eyes like thunder
and his lips, they were sad and tight
his little lost love lay asleep on the hillside
and his heart was heavy as night
[chorus]
don’t cross him, don’t boss him
he’s wild in his sorrow
he’s riding and hiding his pain
don’t fight him, don’t spite him
just wait ’til tomorrow
maybe he’ll ride on again
[verse 2]
a yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window
and watched as he p-ssed her way
she drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion
but cast greedy eyes on the bay
but how could she know that this dancing bay pony
meant more to him than life?
for this was the horse that his little lost darling
had ridden when she was his wife
[chorus]
don’t cross him, don’t boss him
he’s wild in his sorrow
he’s riding and hiding his pain
don’t fight him, don’t spite him
just wait till tomorrow
maybe he’ll ride on again
[verse 3]
the yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern
and looked up the stranger there
he bought her a drink and he gave her some money
he just didn’t seem to care
she followed him out as he saddled his stallion
and laughed as she grabbed at the bay
he shot her so quick, they had no time to warn her
she never heard anyone say
[chorus]
“don’t cross him, don’t boss him
“he’s wild in his sorrow
“he’s riding and hiding his pain
“don’t fight him, don’t spite him
“just wait ’til tomorrow
“maybe he’ll ride on again”
[verse 4]
the yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset
the stranger went free, of course
for you can’t hang a man for k!lling a woman
who’s trying to steal your horse
this is the tale of the red headed stranger
and if he should p-ss your way
stay out of the path of the raging black stallion
and don’t lay a hand on the bay
[chorus]
don’t cross him, don’t boss him
he’s wild in his sorrow
he’s riding and hiding his pain
don’t fight him, don’t spite him
just wait till tomorrow
maybe he’ll ride on again
