Robert Earl Keen - Billy Gray слова песни
Billy Gray rode into Gantry back in `83 There he did meet young Sarah McCrayThe wild rose of morning that pale flower of dawning Herald of springtime in his young life that daySarah, she could not see the daylight of reality In her young eyes, Billy bore not a flawKnowing not her chosen one was a hired gun Wanted in Kansas City by the lawThen one day a tall man came riding cross the badlandsThat lie to the north of New Mexico He was overheard to say he was lookin` for Bill GrayA ruthless man and a dangerous outlawWell, the deadly news came creepin` to Billy, fast sleepin`There in the Clarendon Bar and Hotel He fled towards the old church, there on the outskirtsThinking he`d climb that old steeple bellBut a rifle ball came flying face down he lay dying There in the dust of the road where he fell Sarah, she ran to him cursing the lawman Accepting no reason knowing he was killedSarah lives in that same old white frame houseWhere she first met Billy some forty years ago And the wild rose of morning has fadedWith the dawning of each day of Sorrow the long years have sownWritten on a stonewhere the dusty winds have long blown Eighteen words to a passing world say:"True love knows no season, no rhyme nor no reason Justice is cold as the Granger County clay"
