One Hour Ahead Of The Posse - Single Version

One hour ahead of the posse
The bloodhounds are hot on my trail
Last evening I shot down my sweetheart
This morning I broke out of jail

My Pinto is tired and hungry
And I'm feeling weary and gone
We started ahead of the posse
And we got to keep going on

The sherrif aswored he would get me
He's riding with 20 and 5
But I'm ain't afeared of that posse
Till they never get me alive

One hour ahead of the posse
No turning to left or to right
We must win the race to the river
Or there'll be a hanging tonight

We're gonna hang him tonight!

One hour ahead of the posse
No time for remorse or regret
But somehow her blue eyes still haunt me
Her laughter is taunting me yet

It started the night that I met her

She kissed me and vowed she would care
I traded the gold in my pocket
To fondle the gold in her hair

She lied when she said that she loved me
She lied with each kiss that she gave
She lied till the moment I caught her
And now she lies still in her grave

One hour ahead of the posse
The night is a-coming on fast
Jut one little mile to the Rio
And well shake that posse at last

We're nearing the end of our journey
We got a second to spare
The hoof beat are closer and closer
The barking of dogs till the end

One hour ahead of the posse
And now I'm inside of my goal
At last we have beaten that posse
(gun shot in background)
May the Lord have mercy on my soul
May the Lord have mercy on his soul
