he went a- riding
Through the canyon, in the glow
Of a quiet Sunday morning

From the town of Angelo

Ridin' easy on that pinto
That he dearly loved to straddle,
With a six- gun and sombrero

That was wider than his saddle

Of a simple little song

That's a- boomin'
through the cactus

Through the mesquite and the sand
I'm a rarin', flarin' bucko,

On my pinto called Apache

And Adolphus that's my gun."

G
Well straight to Santa Fe he drifted,
And he mills around the town
Sorta gittin' of his bearin's
D
As he pours his liquor down

Every hombre in the place,

For some certain
D

hombre's face.
Verse 4
G
Then one night he saunters
careless
To the place of Monte Sam
And he does a bit of playin'
D
Like he doesn't give a damn.
C
Then all at once it's hushed and quiet,
Like a calm before the blow,
G
And the crowd is tense and nervous,
D
G
And the playin stopped and slow.
Verse 5
G
At the bar a man is standin',
Sneerin' as his glances lay,
Like a challenge did he fling 'em,
D
Darin' 'em to make the play.
C
Two- Gun Blake, the Texas killer,
Hated, feared wherever known

Stood and drank his glass of mescal

With assurance all his own.
G
Verse 6
Then the eyes of Blake, the killer,
Met the glance of Dobe Bill
And they held each one
the other
D
With the steel of looks that kill,

With a sneer in every word

"Well, you've found me!"
But the other gave no sign he
D
G
saw or heard.
Verse 7
G
Walkin' calmly toward the speaker,
He advanced with
steady pace
Then he grinned,
and quick as lightnin',

"Shoot, you snake!" he
whispered hoarsely.
"Shoot, you lily- livered cur!"
G
"Draw! You're always
strong for killin';
Now I'm here to shoot for

Some there was that claimed they saw it,
As the killer tried to draw
But there's no one knows for certain

I'll agree the shootin' started
Quick as Blake had made his start

Then a brace of bullets hit him
D
Fair and certain through the heart.
G
Verse 9
As he fell, his hand was graspin'
For the gun he'd got too

With the notches on it showin'

Like the vagaries of fate.

At the killer as he lay

I have made that scoundrel pay!"
