[Verse 1]
He rode up on a winter day
Steam risin' off a streak-faced bay
He said, "You probably know my name
If you don't, it's Arkansas Dave"
[Verse 2]
He talked of fifteen years ago
And how he got the bay he rode
Said he killed a man in Ohio
First man he killed, first horse he stole
[Verse 3]
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
He shot and left him where he lay
Said he'd never forget that winter day
He rode off on a streak-faced bay
[Verse 4]
I stood up and I shook his hand
Told no one that I knew this man
Started thinking of a plan
'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand
[Verse 5]
It didn't take him long to come unwound
He jumped up and gunned two men down
Ran outside to leave the town
But ol' bay was nowhere to be found
He rode up on a winter day
Steam risin' off a streak-faced bay
He said, "You probably know my name
If you don't, it's Arkansas Dave"
[Verse 2]
He talked of fifteen years ago
And how he got the bay he rode
Said he killed a man in Ohio
First man he killed, first horse he stole
[Verse 3]
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
He shot and left him where he lay
Said he'd never forget that winter day
He rode off on a streak-faced bay
[Verse 4]
I stood up and I shook his hand
Told no one that I knew this man
Started thinking of a plan
'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand
[Verse 5]
It didn't take him long to come unwound
He jumped up and gunned two men down
Ran outside to leave the town
But ol' bay was nowhere to be found
