[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
When first unto this country
A stranger I came
I courted a fair maiden
Nancy was her name
I courted her for love
Her love I didn't obtain
Do you think I've any reason
Or right to complain?
[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
I rode to see my Nancy
I rode both night and day
I stole a fine stallion
From Colonel Charles Grey
I rode to see my Nancy
I rode both day and night
I courted fairest Nancy
My own heart's true delight
[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]
The sheriff's men they followed
And overtaken me
They carted me away
To the penitentiary
They opened up the door
And then they threw me in
They shaved off my hair
And they cleared off my chin
When first unto this country
A stranger I came
I courted a fair maiden
Nancy was her name
I courted her for love
Her love I didn't obtain
Do you think I've any reason
Or right to complain?
[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
I rode to see my Nancy
I rode both night and day
I stole a fine stallion
From Colonel Charles Grey
I rode to see my Nancy
I rode both day and night
I courted fairest Nancy
My own heart's true delight
[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]

And overtaken me
They carted me away
To the penitentiary
They opened up the door
And then they threw me in
They shaved off my hair
And they cleared off my chin
