Stray Bullet

Lyrics

In the tall grass, we held hands Down by the river, we made plans Of what would and would not be It was impossible to see Their black boots shone in the sun They were waiting on the Annandale train when my baby come Little girl with the long black hair Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear? Once I swore you'd ride with me (To some far and distant shore) Down where this river meets the sea (I'll make you mine forevermore) Over these dark hills, I'd walk alone (Just to hold you in my arms) To lie with you on a bed of stone River blood-red with the years You can flood this valley with a thousand tears Wash away all that's been found But you'll never wash away the sound Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
