Through the canyon, in the glow
Of a quiet Sunday morning

Well straight to Santa Fe he drifted,

For some certain

hombre's face.

Then one night he saunters
careless
To the place of Monte Sam

Like a calm before the blow,

And the crowd is tense and nervous,
C
F
And the playin stopped and slow.
Verse 5
F
At the bar a man is standin',
Sneerin' as his glances lay,
Like a challenge did he fling 'em,

Fair and certain through the heart.

At the killer as he lay
