Rock River Lyrics - Dad

I was out in the wild 

Trying to catch some supper 

And bring it home to sweet mama.. 

But when the pony headed back 

To our home valley.. 

I knew I'd been gone too long: 

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died 

I reached home just afer dark.. 

Looking for mama 

But she was nowhere on our land... 

So I kicked the frontdoor open 

Saw the rope above her 

And the shadow of the dirty gunman... 

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died 

I chased him through Arkansas 

From Texas to Missouri... 

He took me up north 

From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis 

He was haunted 

But I had the time 

I wanted him back 

To the scene of the crime 

- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died... 

Well, we reached Rock River 

And we reached the other side... 

He looked back 

Kinda fraid for his life 

I pulled my trigger 

And I hitted him 

Right between the eyes 

And then I roped him up to mama 

To the roaches & the flys... 

Rock River Rock River 

Rock River Rock River 

Rock River
