Early one days morning
I came upon a fine young horse
I mounted up & led him onward
He was gray as the sky above
As the sky above
I slept down by the river
& what a sad dream I had
I'm afraid my love
It must be true
Today I will go & leave you
& today I will be gone
I awoke and was surrounded
Nine of the law stood before me
Asking me my name & business
Demanding proof of me
Demanding proof of me
Proof of me
What do you want from me
Would you have me your prisoner
No but you must give us that horse
You must give us that roan gray horse
Listen, he ain't for sale
Never for the law to ride
If that should happen none would be safe
Even the birds
Even the birds
Would be afraid to fly
