lyrics

Stumbled through the eye of a hangman's noose
Took a walk in a dead man's shoes
Neath the eye of a buzzard sun
Found the bones of an old dead mission

From border town to border town
My six guns made their sacred rounds
Preacher squawked of his higher call
Left his brains on a shit house wall

Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow me on,
I won't let go

Wept in a house of ill repute
Paid her off with a golden tooth
Left her sleeping by my side
Blow wind blow and away I ride

Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow me on,
I won't let go

Stumbled through the eye of a hangman's noose
Took a walk in a dead man's shoes
