Ben Nichols - Chambers Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Born under a south Kentucky sky
  • He'd come west to Mexico to fight 1842 at Mier
  • The gutters filled with blood and fear
  • Barely made it back to Texas alive
  • With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
  • In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
  • There he met his dark-eyed love
  • But said good bye when the war was done
  • He swore that he'd come back for her again
  • Oh oh novia
  • Oh oh your man is gone
  • Maybe he's in Texas
  • But we'll take what God has left us
  • And we'll leave for California with the dawn
  • Worked his way back to Old Mexico
  • To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
  • Back to those same city walls
  • Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
  • Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
  • They put him in a prison left alone
  • With other yankee fools so far from home
  • Parade them through the square in chains
  • 'Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
  • Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
  • Glanton's men were killers all by trade
  • And through the prison bars a deal was made
  • Glanton needed three new men
  • Hired the lovelorn veteran
  • The killers rode out through the governor's gates
  • The Veteran left camp 'fore the rising sun
  • No killer he'd left other work undone
  • He was not yet two days out
  • When Glanton's ***** native scouts
  • Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
