Cowboy Movie
by David Crosby
(Intro: Em G A Asus4 Em G A Asus4)
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
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.  
      
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."
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
Em G A Asus4 (Em G A Asus4
Em G A Asus4) 3x's
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
(Em G A Asus4 Em G A) 8x's
