Got a gun in my holster
Got a horse between my knees

I have been a desperado
Raped and pillaged 'cross the plain
Now, I'm goin' to Arizona
Just a rider in the rain

And I'm goin' to Arizona
He's a rider in the rain

And my bride's in Tennessee
So, I'm goin' to Arizona
With a banjo on my knee

And I'm goin' to Arizona
He's a rider in the rain

And the wind that sweeps the plain
