May The River Run Dry Lyrics

Black crow lighting on your old, crooked tree
Where have you flown, who's bones did you see?
May the river run dry if you lie
Mister, I won't lie to you
I've flown to Mexico
I've flown to places only crows and outlaws know
May the river run dry if I lie

May the river run dry if I lie to you
You better shoulder your gun and prepare
Water and saddle your mare
There's two riders comin'
I can just see their dust in the air
Cross my heart, hope to die, it's true
May the river run dry if I lie to you

Well, I looked out to the south
And the crow said to me
Devil's Island Eddie and the Boon Kid are free
May the river run dry if I lie
Eddie's blood is bad, so poisoned with pride
A rattlesnake bit him, crawled off and died
May the river run dry if I lie to you

May the river run dry if I lie to you
You better shoulder your gun and prepare
Water and saddle your mare
Look again now, even you'll see their dust in the air
Sure as I was born to die, it's true
May the river run dry if I lie to you

Well, the wind died, a shot rang
And all there was to see
Was a black crow a-fallen from his old, crooked tree
May the river run dry if I lie
It's good to see ya, Eddie
I just got the word
And nobody knows but this black and twisted bird
May the river run dry if I lie

May the river run dry if I lie to you
Everything is prepared
I've watered and saddled the mares
We'll wait here 'til nightfall
And tomorrow, we'll each have our share
And every man will get what he's due
May the river run dry if I lie to you
Sure as we were born to die, it's true
May the river run dry if I lie to you
