I came upon a fine young horse
I mounted up and led him onward
He was gray as the sky above
As the sky above
I slept down by the river
And what a sad dream I had
I'm afraid my love
It must be true
Today I will go and leave you
Today I will be gone
I awoke and was surrounded
Nine of the law stood before me
Askin me my name and business
Demanding proof of me
Demanding proof of me
Proof of me
What do you want from me
Would you have me your prisoner
No but you must give us that horse
You must give us that roan gray horse
Listen he aint for sale
Never for the law to ride
If that should happen none would be safe
Even the birds
Even the birds
Would be afraid to fly
So they ask again what was my name they ask again what was my name
Two were dead before they could move
Two were dead before they could move
That's my name
That's my name
If you please
That's my name
That's my name
If you please
Early one days morning I came upon a fine young horse I mounted up and led him onward He was gray as the sky above As the sky above I slept down by the river And what a sad dream I had I'm afraid my love It must be true Today I will go and leave you Today I will be gone I awoke and was surrounded Nine of the law stood before me Askin me my name and business Demanding proof of me Demanding proof of me Proof of me What do you want from me Would you have me your prisoner No but you must give us that horse You must give us that roan gray horse Listen he aint for sale Never for the law to ride If that should happen none would be safe Even the birds Even the birds Would be afraid to fly So they ask again what was my name they ask again what was my name Two were dead before they could move Two were dead before they could move That's my name That's my name If you please That's my name That's my name If you please Explain Request ×
