Brenn Hill - Powder River Queen - Sözleri

We crossed the Powder River in the fall of '81


Pulled heavy on the wagon for we knew that we were done


Thre thousand miles from Mexico where we had first begun


We started cuttin' timber by the ton





I was just a young man lookin' for my pot of gold


No irons in my fire nothin' bought nor nothin' sold


Still I longed for a lady with a tender heart to hold


And someone to keep me from the cold





And the Powder River Queen was any cowboy's dream


Sweet as the water runnin' through those mountain streams


So young and wild, soft like a child


Was my one and only Powder River Queen





When we rode off to Denver in the spring of '82


Well I swore it was the last time I'd ever buckaroo


And I promised her I'd marry her when all the work was through


And I left her with a kiss and "I love you"





But in a bar outside of Cheyenne I shot a gambler down


And left him slowly dyin' lyin' face down on the ground


Now I'm stuck here in a jail cell waitin' on my last sundown


When they hang me in the center of the town





And the Powder River Queen will wonder where I've been


When I will send my love to her no more


As all the plans we've made begin to slowly fade


I see my Powder Queen outside the door





And she begins to cry as I touch her through the bars


She says, "For weeks I've wondered where and how on earth you are


Wishing you'd return on every fallin' star


Now you won't cross that river anymore."





And the Powder River Queen is the last face I have seen


As the sound of the gallows ring outside


And by the light I know that soon this day will end at noon


And I'll never make my Powder Queen my bride


No I'll never make my Powder Queen my bride
