Webb Wilder - Carryin' The News To Mary lyrics

Carryin' the News to Mary The night hawk said He seen the damnedest thing It was the little blue roan Outta Billy's string With his center fire rig and McCarthy reins Carryin' the news to Mary Thunder on the bed ground Cavvy got spooked Bull calf moaned That's when the lid blew By morning I could tell ya There were more then a few Carryin' the news to Mary A prairie dog hole snags a pony's leg Buckaroo takes a fall and it claims his fate The wild bovine grind his bones to dust His six shooter lays on the prairie to rust Got to play your hand win, lose, or draw Got to take a look-see to know what you saw A riderless horse against a half-lit sky Is a sobering sight when the wind is high The night hawk said He seen the damnedest thing It was the little blue roan Outta Billy's string With his center fire rig and McCarthy reins Carryin' the news to Mary Widow woman weepin', askin' everyone "why?" Punchers at loss for words, tears in their eyes Ol' blue standin' there pawin' at the ground Windmill groanin' is the only other sound When a man saddles up and starts makin' tracks Ain't no way of knowin' if he's comin' back Well, the night hawk said He seen the damnedest thing It was the little blue roan Outta Billy's string With his center fire rig and McCarthy reins Carryin' the news to Mary Carryin' the news to Mary Carryin' the news to Mary Carryin' the news.......... to Mary
