I knew the old guy would weigh in on this one, my all time favorite is "Poncho & Lefty" You got to really listed to the lyrics...soooooo ture and "7 Spanish Angels" always brings a tear.
Yup..Horse-stealing was a crime that got you hung. There was a big old dead tree about 30 miles South-East of Dodge City that was pointed out to me as the last tree that hung the last horse-thief done 'Vigilante Style' in that area...about 1910 or so.
I never understood why a fair gun fight would have caused such an uproar..except the guys' buddies MAY have taken exception to having him gunned down...and taken a hand.

A city with a legend, the west Texas city of El Paso

In a little place called Rosies where he used to go to watch this beauty whirl.....

I told Mary about it
I Told her about a great sin
Mary cried and forgave me
Then Mary took me back again
Said if I wanted my freedom
I could be free ever more
But I don't want to be
And I don't want to see
Mary cry anymore
Oh DEVIL WOMAN
DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
DEVIL WOMAN let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Mary is waiting and weeping
Down in our shack by the sea
Even after I hurt her
Mary's still in love with me
DEVIL WOMAN it's over
Trapped no more by your charm
Cause I don't want to stay
I want to get away
Woman let go of my arm
Oh DEVIL WOMAN
DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
DEVIL WOMAN let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
DEVIL WOMAN your evil
Like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tides
You bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary
Mary had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black
Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell
Oh DEVIL WOMAN
DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
DEVIL WOMAN let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Running along by the seashore
Running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy
Glad I'm coming home again
Never again will I ever
Cause another tear to fall
Down the beach I see
What belongs to me
The one I want most of all
Oh DEVIL WOMAN
DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
DEVIL WOMAN don't follow me
And leave me alone
I want to go home

Just wanted to see how many old farts there were here. Anyone know what the flipside of that 45rpm was??

The running gun or Big iron on his hip?
