Country Music Cds
and Country Gospel Cds. recorded by Willie Nelson [3/4 time] written by Edith Linderman and Carl Stutz C The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana G7 Rode into town one day C F C And under his knees was a raging black stallion D7 G7 And walking behind was a bay C The red-headed stranger had eyes like thunder G7 And lips that were sad and tight C F C His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside G7 C And his heart was heavy as night F So don't cross him don't boss him C He's wild in his sorrow G7 He's riding and he's hiding his pain F Don't fight him don't spite him C Just wait 'til tomorrow G7 C Maybe he'll ride on again A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window G7 And watched as he passed her way C F C And she drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion D7 G7 But cast greedy eyes on the bay C But how could she know that the dancing bay pony G7 Meant more to him than life C F C For this was the horse that his little lost darling G7 C Had ridden when she was his wife Repeat #3 The yellow-haired lady went down to the tavern G7 And looked up the stranger there C F C He bought her a drink and he gave her some money D7 G7 But he just didn't seem to care C She followed him out as he saddled his stallion G7 And laughed as she grabbed at the bay C F C He shot her so quick they had no time to warn her G7 C She never heard anyone say Repeat #3 The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset G7 The stranger went free of course C F C For you can't hang a man for killing a woman D7 G7 Who's trying to steal your horse C Now this is the tale of the red-headed stranger G7 And if he should pass your way C F C Stay out of the path of the raging black stallion G7 C And don't lay a hand on the bay Repeat #3
