Arkansas Twist - Bobby Lee Trammell

He rode up on a winter day Steam rising off a streak faced bay Said, you probably know my name If you don't it's Arkansas Dave He talked of fifteen years ago And how he got the bay he rode Said, he killed a man in Ohio First man he killed, first horse he stole It was a long road for Arkansas Dave He shot and left him where he lay Said, he'd never forget that winter day He rode off on a streak faced bay I stood up and I shook his hand Told no one that I knew this man Started thinking of a plan 'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand Didn't take him long to come unwound He jumped up and gunned two men down Ran outside to leave the town But ol' bay was nowhere to be found I hid out with my 44 And when he walked back through the door I shot till I could shoot no more And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave I shot and left him where he lay I'll never forget that winter day I rode off on the streak faced bay No, I'll never forget that winter day I rode home on daddy's streak faced bay
