1
Kind friends you have heard the story,
2
And the song called Twenty One Years,
3
All of how two lovers parted,
4
Of their sorrow, pain and tears.
5
I am another who's heartbroken,
6
And I'm in this lonesome jail
7
I was the honest ranger,
8
Tried for fame but soon I failed.
9
I was a cowboy singer,
10
And I played the old guitar,
11
But my mind was set on roaming,
12
I started out for lands a-far.
13
Soon fell with bad companions,
14
And we robbed the Western mail
15
Shot and killed some helpless lady,
16
As I think my face grows pale.
17
I had a pretty sweet heart,
18
And she though the world of me,
19
But we parted at the station,
20
Down in sunny Tennessee.
21
Last night from her I got a letter,
22
Saying, "I can never be your bride"
23
As the moon shone though my window,
24
I bowed my head and cried.
25
Never more we'll stroll together;
26
Down in dear old Lover's Lane,
27
I must spend my life in prison,
28
I pray on high we'll meet again.
