Sam Bass - Michael Martin Murphey
[00:07.27]Sam Bass was bo...
[00:07.27]Sam Bass was born in Indiana, it was his native home,
[00:14.57]And at the age of seventeen Sam began to roam.
[00:21.86]When Sam first came to Texas a cowboy for to be
[00:29.09]A kinder-hearted fellow you seldom ever see.
[00:36.35]
[00:36.36]Sam used to deal in race-stock, one called the Denton mare;
[00:43.49]He matched her in scrub races and he took her to the fair.
[00:51.25]He used to coin the money, and spent it rather free;
[00:58.40]He always drank good whiskey wherever he might be.
[01:05.64]
[01:05.65]Sam he left the Collins ranch in the early month of May,
[01:12.87]With a herd of Texas cattle the Black Hills for to see;
[01:20.00]Sold out in Custer City, and then went on a spree
[01:27.29]And a tougher set of cowboys you seldom ever see.
[01:34.62]
[01:34.63]On their way back to Texas they robbed the U.P. train,
[01:41.98]And then split up in couples and started out again;
[01:49.09]Joe Collins and his partner was overtaken soon,
[01:56.26]With all their hard-earned money they had to meet their doom.
[02:03.82]
[02:03.83]Sam had four companions, four bold and daring lads
[02:10.87]Frank Jackson, Harry Underwood, Joe Collins, and Old Dad;
[02:18.10]Such bold and daring cowboys Rangers never knew,
[02:25.52]They whipped the Texas Rangers and they ran the boys in blue.
[02:32.61]
[02:32.62]Jim Murphy was arrested, and then released on bail;
[02:39.94]He jumped his bond at Tyler and then they took off on the trail;
[02:47.14]But Mayor Barnes had posted him and that was all a stall,
[02:54.54]It was a plan to capture Sam before the coming fall.
[03:01.98]
[03:01.99]Sam met his fate at Round Rock, July the twenty-first,
[03:08.96]They pierced poor Sam with rifle balls and emptied out his purse.
[03:16.60]Sam he is now a corpse and six foot under clay,
[03:23.55]And Jackson's on the border till trying to get away.
[03:31.03]
[03:31.04]Jim he stole Sam's good gold and he didn't want to pay,
[03:38.58]The only way he saw to win was to give poor Sam away.
[03:45.35]he sold out Sam and Barnes and he left their friends to mourn-
[03:52.85]What a scorching Jim will get when Gabriel blows his horn!
[04:01.72]
[04:01.73]Jim Murphy sold out Sam and Barnes and left their friends to mourn
[04:11.68]and what a scorching Jim will get when Gabriel blows his horn!
[04:21.70]Perhaps he's gone to heaven, there's none of us can say,
[04:31.71]But if I'm right in my surmise he's gone the other way.
