Chris Ledoux - Old Tom Hom Lyrics

Align:    
  • Now back in old Wyoming many long years ago
  • When there was no law and order round to regulate the show
  • Those old Wyoming ranchers had a problem on their hands
  • Trying to keep the cow thieves and the rustlers off their land
  • Now old Tom Horn came a riding up one day
  • Gonna lend a hand to the cattlemen in his own peculiar way
  • Well he took his 44-40 out and cleaned it up right well
  • Then he rode off down Dry Gulch with a sack of rifle shells
  • Old Tom Horn with a rifle by his side through the hills of Wyoming he would ride
  • There ain't no tellin' how many cattle thieves he killed
  • But it was God help the rustler when Tom Horn was in the hill
  • If you rode the Larame Valley by either day or night
  • You can be right sure he's watchin' you through his rifle sights
  • He laid out in the bushes and the rustler come around
  • Then he'll spill the boy with a single shot and chamber one more round
  • Now the rustlers tried to stop him but they found there was no way
  • He could pick them off from a mountain side a half mile away
  • Well they ran him down the border but they never touched his hide
  • He just slipped across to his hide out on the Colorado side
  • Old Tom Horn with a rifle...
  • Then one day young Willie Nickle was out a ridin' around
  • A 44-40 shot rang out and laid the poor boy down
  • Well it was only fourteen years since that little kid was born
  • And they said it looked like the doing's of that lonesome Tom Horn
  • So the cattlemen went and strung him up with a length of fresh snipped rope
  • But his ghost still hangs out in the hills and spooks the Antelope
  • Now all the rustlers hatred and all the cattlemen's fears
  • Have keep all Tom Horn alive through all the changing years
  • Old Tom Horn with a rifle...
