The Chesapeake Bay Gene Watson

[Chorus]
She rode a bay called Chesapeake
Stayed on its back for 14 weeks
Rode all the way down to New Orleans
Searching for her man

[Verse 1]
I was two weeks out of Franklin
Keeping it close to the rails
I rode a stallion hard, leaving no holds barred
Just missing the Birmingham jail
I knew Kitty was stubborn to no-'count
But the kitten was crazy in love
She just had to know why I had to go
When she fit just like a glove

[Chorus]
She rode a bay called Chesapeake
Stayed on its back for 14 weeks
Rode all the way down to New Orleans
Tracking down her man

[Verse 2]
She was detеrmined to find me
And I was just planning to hide
But shе rode through hell just so she could tell me
She needed to be by my side
She never complained about the action
When it came down to doing the job
She could ride with the best and she was put to the test
The night 97 was robbed
