Cowboy Movie

by David Crosby

(Intro: Em G A Asus4 Em G A Asus4)

Me And My Good Partners

We Were Riding Back To Our Camp

We Were Feeling Very Fine

 

And The Air Was Clear And Slightly Damp

And We Were Riding Back To Have Ourselves A Party

To Celebrate The Robbing Of The Train

We Were Talking Kind Of Low And Lazy

 

About Not Having To Go Out Soon Again

You Know We Hadn't Been Back Home Two Hours

We Heard A Hawk Cry Out In The Night

 

And You Know That's A Signal From Young Billy, Who's Our Sentry

 

He's Saying Something Here Ain't Exactly Right

 

So We Quick Grabbed Some Of Our Hardware

Stumbled Out Of Our Home

In Two Minutes Flat We Had Found Her

An Indian Girl All Alone

And 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 Gunner

 

He's Kind Of Mean And Young From The South

 

 

He Said, "Fat Albert, You're Getting Kind Of Old And Weird Now."

 

"You'd Better Get Your Twelve Gauge Shot Gun Right Out."

And I Did, You Know I Did

Now Eli And The Duke They Got Down To It

 

They Each Wanted The Indian Girl For Their Own

 

But When They Finally Got Around To Asking Her

 

You Know She Said She'd Come To Take Young Billy Home

Eli Said He'd Kill Young Billy

He'd Kill The Duke, And Probably Me Too, Yeah

The Indian Girl Said, "Go Ahead Now Do It"

 

I Said "Stop It", And She Bit My Thumb Nearly Clean Through

 

And When They Finally Started To Break Down The Door

I Smeared My Face Up With Blood From My Thumb

 

I Laid Down On The Floor And Played Real Good Possum

You Know I'm Crazy But I Ain't Real Dumb

Now I'm Dying Here In Albuquerque

I Must Be The Sorriest Sight You Ever Saw

 

You Know The Reason I'm The Only Man Here To Tell It

 

You Know That Indian Girl, She Wasn't An Indian She Was The Law
