Dust On My Saddle

Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots
 A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits
 I'm tired and I'm hungry worried as can be
 Last night I saw a poster and they're still after me
 They claim we were in Clinton last year in the month of June
 They said on the night of the seventeen in Katy's old saloon
 A man was shot in cold blood in a friendly poker game
 I don't know how it happened but somehow I got the blame
 Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots
 A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits
 I'm tired and I'm hungry, worried as can be
 Last night I saw a poster and they're still after me
 Well I've worked up in the gold mines and I've logged up in the hills
 Come spring I'd drive the herds up, come fall I'd work the mills
 Well I've done most ev'ry kind of work from letter A to Z
 I guess I'll be a ridin' now the past is chasing me
 Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots
 A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits
 I'm tired and I'm hungry, worried as can be
 Last night I saw a poster and they're still after me
 Six years now since that fateful day my ridin' days have ceased
 Well, I'm hidin' out in Kansas now, they think I am a priest
 I'm carryin' a Bible instead of a forty five
 Rememberin' that poster sayin', "Dead or Alive"
 The Sunday sermon's over, I look out towards the bar
 Several men are comin' one has on a star
 Well I guess this time they caught me, runnin' ain't no use
 This robe will never stop them, they think they know the truth
 But now the star is speaking he says that I am free
 These years I spent a-runnin' they didn't have to be
 Well they caught their man six years ago right after I left town
 My ridin' days are over now and I can settle down
 Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots
 A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits
 I'm tired and I'm hungry worried as can be
 Last night I saw a poster and they're still after me
 Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots
 A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits
 I'm tired and I'm hungry lonely as can be
 I'm bound for Carolina and my family
