[Chorus]
I’m riding along on my pinto
Got no place to lay my head
Gonna get me a can of big yellow peaches
Oh, my true love is dead
I shot him this morning at daybreak
I shot him way down in the drawl
He was running around on the Mexican border
He was a dirty, thieving outlaw
[Chorus]
Well, I might go out hunting for mustang
I guess we’ll go back to the drawl
I’ll fill ’em and yell ’em
And teach ’em and tell ’em
Sometimes a gee from the hall
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Lord have mercy on me
Was the kneeling drunkard’s plea
And as he knelt there on the ground
I know that God in heaven looked down
I went down by an old country church
I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch
And as he reached his mother’s grave
I saw the drunkard kneel and pray
[Chorus]
Bring my darling boy to me
Was his mother’s dying plea
And as he staggered through the gate
A lassie came just one day too late
Three years have passed since she went away
Her son is sleeping beside her today
And I know that in heaven his mother he’ll see
For God has heard the drunkard’s plea
[Chorus]
