Jake ridin' shotgun the whole of his days
Headin' for the Mexican border Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range Just to help him keep law and order Sits right back just a-takin' it easy Drinks a shot a whisky and it makes him mighty wheezy He coughed hard once He coughed hard twice Neglecting keeping watch Don't mind the sheriff's advice Ridin' Shotgun Runnin' over land To the Rio Grande Now Shots rang down from the rocks up above And bore Jake to his feet His pants fell down and actin' like a clown The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat Big Jake did the boogaloo too Got lucky, he cried like a drunk His operations ain't no ??? for you And that's the way it is Ridin' Shotgun Runnin' over land To the Rio Grande Now Stage gotten in to the centre of town And Jake gotta have himself a drink He got to the bar and what he saw Simple station folk would hate to think Ella-May was dancin' to the sound of the blues Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near 'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer Ridin' Shotgun Runnin' over land To the Rio Grande Take the law in hand To the Rio Grande Now |

Man on a sidewalk, stone cold
He's carrying everyone's load And a tear in his eye Mirrors moon in black sky His dreams have been builded too high Now he's finding he's lost every way Hopes shattering one by one day Don't you trust no one's heart 'Cause they'll tear you apart And they'll laugh as you're runnin' away "The time has now gone" Said the boy on the run To the crowd as they all turned him away Don't you give me no hard luck I pray Don't you give me more reasons to hate 'Cause the saints of your yard Have been acting too hard Won't you clear out before it's too late "The time has now gone" Said the man with the gun To the crowd as they all turned away "The time has now gone" Said the man with the gun To the crowd as they all turned away |

Black dog up and sniffed his plate a-steamin' on the stove
Kids ain't seen you home all day, you're a gentleman born to roam Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today Have you seen the black dog's teeth, sharp like a knife? Have you seen him tear apart a throat, to take a life? Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today Have you seen the black dog's eyes starin' in the fire? It would not occur to him to question your desire Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today I've always had a fear of creatures cryin' in the dark And every form of evil seems to bear an evil mark Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today My man lay beside me and my black dog's at my feet He keeps me from my wanderin' life and he robs me of my sleep Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today Now I don't know the black dog's name but when I call him he will come How'd I ever get that black dog? Lord, he's shown me what he wants Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been today Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been Black dog don't believe in sin Think of where the black dog's been Think of where he's been |
