(Dwellers on the bluff)
Ah, The Wide Missouri
Dwellers
on
the bluff
Across
The Wide Missouri
Never enough
No,
Never enough.
Whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will
Scissoring high,
in the trees,
A beating
would do me
a world
of good
Sneakin by
Sneakin by
I am down
on my knees
A beating
would do me
a world
of good.
I took it
from
Saxon.
I took it
from
Dad.
From
Fat
Johnny Friendly.
From
3 vigilantes.
I took it
for
Wild One
And then
for
my sin
I took it
from
Lizbeth
again
and
again.
Ah, The Wide Missouri
Dwellers
on
the bluff
Across
The Wide Missouri
Never enough
No,
Never enough.
Whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will
Scissoring high,
in the trees,
A beating
would do me
a world
of good
Sneakin by
Sneakin by
I am down
on my knees
A beating
would do me
a world
of good.
