Arkansas Dave Lyrics - Twang - George Strait

He rode up on a winter day 

Steam rising off a streak faced bay 

Said, you probably know my name 

If you don't it's Arkansas Dave 

He talked of fifteen years ago 

And how he got the bay he rode 

Said, he killed a man in Ohio 

First man he killed, first horse he stole 

It was a long road for Arkansas Dave 

He shot and left him where he lay 

Said, he'd never forget that winter day 

He rode off on a streak faced bay

I stood up and I shook his hand 

Told no one that I knew this man 

Started thinking of a plan 

'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand 

Didn't take him long to come unwound 

He jumped up and gunned two men down 

Ran outside to leave the town 

But ol' bay was nowhere to be found 

I hid out with my 44 

And when he walked back through the door 

I shot till I could shoot no more 

And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor

It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave 

I shot and left him where he lay 

I'll never forget that winter day 

I rode off on the streak faced bay 

No, I'll never forget that winter day 

I rode home on daddy's streak faced bay
