Outlaw Pete... He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail At six months old hed done three months in jail He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet All he said was Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete. Im Outlaw Pete! Im Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal And they rode around and round on heavens wheel Father Jesus, Im an outlaw, killer and a thief And I slow down only to sow my grief Im Outlaw Pete! Im Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? He cut his trail of tears across the countryside And where he went, women wept and men died One night he woke from a vision of his own death Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res And as the smoke fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest Im Outlaw Pete! Im Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop He said, Pete, you think youve changed, but you have not. He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shouted, Let it stop! He drew a knife from his boot and pierced Dan through the heart Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun And whispered in Petes ear, We cannot undo these things weve done. Youre Outlaw Pete! Youre Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top He watched a hawk on a desert updraft slip and slide Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his ponys side Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair And braids a piece of Petes buckskin chaps into her hair Outlaw Pete! Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? https://youtube/watch?v=VinyOaioRiI
