[Verse 1] They circled the cabin, she stepped out to meet them With a Winchester rifle that'd kept them away Twelve young Apaches on Calico ponies Leader among them on a white paint bay
[Verse 2] He looked down upon her, sincere admiration Many had fought him and many had died Was she alone, where was her husband? He asked her the question to which she replied
[Chorus] I wait for the man who's bound for El Paso Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies Leaving behind his home in the canyon Wife and two children with tears in their eyes
[Verse 3] In a quiet saloon near Culberson county An argument led to the end of a gun From the bar stood a traveler who did what he could To even the odds that were three against one
[Verse 4] A thunderous sound, followed by silence The traveler lay dead with a hole in his side His newfound companion knelt down beside him Asked who he was, the bartender replied
[Chorus] Lying there's a man who was bound for El Paso Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies Leaving behind his home in the canyon Wife and two children with tears in their eyes
[Verse 5] This newfound companion set out for the canyon Headed for nowhere, but he never slowed down One early morning, he awoke to the sounds of Calico ponies and hoofs on the ground
[Verse 6] He fought for his life but finally fell captive Certain he'd come to the end of his days His fight was over, his fate was sealed By the will of the leader on the white paint bay
[Verse 7] Come morning light, he awoke near a cabin The leader looked on as his hands were untied He looked around briefly, silently wondered Would this be the moment he finally died
[Verse 8] The cabin door opened and out stepped a woman A Winchester rifle held close to her side That newfound companion looked up at the woman She asked who he was, to which he replied
[Chorus] I'm in debt to a man who was bound for El Paso Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies Leaving behind his home in the canyon Wife and two children with tears in their eyesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
