《Billy Venero》歌词

[00:00:00] Billy Venero - Marty Robbins

[00:00:09] In an Arizona town one day

[00:00:12] Bill Venero heard them say

[00:00:15] That a band of Apache Indians

[00:00:19] Were on the trail that way

[00:00:22] Heard them tell of murder done

[00:00:25] Three men killed at Rocky Run

[00:00:29] They're in danger at the cow ranch

[00:00:32] Said Venero under his breath

[00:00:35] Nearly forty miles away

[00:00:38] Was a little place that lay

[00:00:42] In a deep and shady valley

[00:00:45] In the mighty wilderness

[00:00:48] Half a score of homes were there

[00:00:52] And in one a maiden fair

[00:00:55] Held the heart of Bill Venero

[00:00:59] Bill Venero's Little Bess

[00:01:01] So no wonder he grew pale

[00:01:05] When he heard the cowboy's tale

[00:01:08] Of the men that he'd seen murdered

[00:01:12] There at Rocky Run

[00:01:15] Sure as there's a God above

[00:01:18] I will save the girl I love

[00:01:21] By that love I hold for Bessie

[00:01:25] I will see that somethin's done

[00:01:28] Not one minute he delayed

[00:01:31] When this brave resolve was made

[00:01:35] But man his comrades told him

[00:01:38] When they hears his daring plan

[00:01:41] You are riding straight to death

[00:01:44] But he answered Save your breath

[00:01:47] I may never reach the cow ranch

[00:01:51] But I'll do the best I can

[00:01:54] As he crossed the alkali

[00:01:58] All his thoughts flew on ahead

[00:02:01] To the little band at Cow Ranch

[00:02:04] Thinking not a danger near

[00:02:08] With his quirt's unceasing whirl

[00:02:11] And the jingle of his spurs

[00:02:14] Little Chapo bore the cowboy

[00:02:17] O'er the far away frontier

[00:02:22] Sharp and dear a rifle shot

[00:02:26] Woke the echoes of the spot

[00:02:29] I am wounded cried Venero

[00:02:32] As he swayed from side to side

[00:02:35] While there's life there's always hope

[00:02:38] Slowly onward I will lope

[00:02:42] If we fail to reach the Cow Ranch

[00:02:46] Bessie Lee will know I tried

[00:02:49] Then at dusk a horse of brown

[00:02:52] Wet with sweat came panting down

[00:02:55] The little lane at Cow Ranch

[00:02:59] Stopped in front of Bessie's door

[00:03:02] But the cowboy was asleep

[00:03:05] And his slumber was so deep

[00:03:09] Little Bess could never wake him

[00:03:12] Though she tried forever more

[00:03:15] You have heard this story told

[00:03:18] By the young and by the old

[00:03:22] How the Indians killed Venero

[00:03:25] On his way to Rocky Run

[00:03:29] Many years have passed away

[00:03:32] And the maiden's hair is gray

[00:03:35] But still she places roses

[00:03:39] On Bill Venero's grave
