bonner brackeen - blood on the bluebonnets lyrics

[verse 1: bonner brackeen]
well, i rode into town with the dust on my heel
i’m just a no_name outlaw with a six_gun to wield
didn’t come to look for any trouble on that day
but i found trouble in those blue eyes of mae

[verse 2: bonner brackeen]
well, she was the daughter of a rich cattle king
with hair like the sunset and a voice that could sing
well, i swore right then that i would quit my life on the run
but some things end even before they’ve begun

[chorus]
now there’s blood on the bluebonnets under that western sky
there’s two lovers torn where the wild horses cry
the winds tell the tale of my old love bound up in chains
and the petals in the meadow whisper my outlaw name

[verse 3: joel]
we met in the midnight and she swore we’d be free
said meet me at the dawn down by that old cedar tree
but her father, he had ears and a heart made of stone
he’d rather see me in the ground than her be gone

[verse 4: joel]
the sun hit my back as i rode to her side
but the rifles were awaiting where fate chose to hide
but a single shot rang out and he fell to his knees
as mae cried out in that cold prairie breeze
[chorus]
now there’s blood on the bluebonnets under that western sky
one daughter’s tears and her old man’s last sigh
i’ll ride to the noose takes my last breath away
and flowers still bloom where we both used to lay

- bonner brackeen
