Cowboy Movie
David Crosby

Me and my good partners

We were riding back to our camp

We were feeling very fine

And the air was clear and slightly damp


And we were riding back to have ourselves a party

To celebrate the robbing of the train.

We were talking kind of low and lazy

About not having to go out soon again... Hallelujah


You know we hadn't been back home two hours

We heard a hawk cry out in the night

And you know that's a signal from young Billy, who's our sentry

He's saying something here ain't exactly right


So we quick grabbed some of our hardware

Stumbled out of our home

In two minutes flat we had found her

An Indian girl all alone


And Eli said, Let's take her back to the cabin

I said, You don't know she might be the law, yeah

He said, smiling kind of nasty,

It ain't too damn likely she'll beat me to the draw.


As we were walking back through the darkness,

I heard the Duke, he's our dynamiter, say,

He said, What's your name, sweet little Indian girl?

She said, Raven. and she looked away my way.

Right then I didn't trust her, no and I said so, oh no.


Now, Eli, he's our fastest gunner

He's kind of mean and young from the South

He said, Fat Albert, you're getting kind of old and weird now.

You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out or shut your mouth.

And I did... You know I did


Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it

They each wanted the Indian girl for their own

But when they finally got around to asking her

You know she said she'd come to take young Billy home


Eli said he'd kill young Billy

He'd kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeah

The Indian girl said, Go ahead now do it

I said Stop it, and she bit my thumb nearly clean through


And when they finally started to break down the door

I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb

I laid down on the floor and played real good possum

You know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumb


Now I'm dying here in Albuquerque

I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw

You know the reason I'm the only man here to tell it

You know that Indian girl, she wasn't an Indian she was the law
