[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.
