Lyrics

Hard tack crumbs on his boots
His thumbs turning blue
As the dress of his sweetheart, Emmylou

He's of the north and he proceeds forth
In the name of three great figures
He can't ignore

Moonrise brings some relief
Where his bunk is clean
And justice permeates his dreams

Wind falls hard on the hill
It's hard to be still
In the blood of his partner's that's been spilled

Ringing hits of the snare
And the lead in the air
Soon pierced his chest
Left lifeless and fair

He's dead as the olden days
Dead as beefsteak
Dead as the nearby body
Dressed in gray
