Legend Of Mcbride Lyrics - Mark Schultz - Mark Schultz

Long ago on the Texas Plains 

Was a little town 

That never changed 

Until a man rode into town, 

A Ranger known for miles around 

Well, he could keep the peace 

Without a gun 

From Abilene down to Galveston 

When he rode by the general store 

People crowded through the door 

To see the legend and the man called McBride, 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh 

In Iverson 

Through the doors of the old hotel 

A burnin' fire began to build 

People screamin' for their lives, 

And the first one there was john McBride. 

And just as soon 

As he stepped in 

People saw the roof cave in, 

And everybody knew 

That he would not survive 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh 

In Iverson 

Than a lady right outside, 

Said her baby boy was trapped inside 

But not a man would fight the flames, 

And she knew 

That it would be too late 

But through the smoke 

And burnin flames 

She heard her baby 

Call her name 

The boy appeared 

But no one knew 

Who saved his life. 

And when the boy grew old and gray 

He spoke about that fateful day, 

And the man that saved his life, 

Texas Ranger, john McBride 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh 

In Iverson 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh, woh, 

And oh, woh woh 

Still I travel far and wide, 

Yeah 

To hear the legend of McBride. YEAH
