Artist/Band: Eddy Arnold
Lyrics for Song: Red Headed Stranger
Lyrics for Album: Cattle Call Bear Family [BCD] [1990]



(Edith Linderman - Carl Stutz)



The red headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana

Rode into town one day

And under his knees was a raging black stallion

And lopin' behind was a bay.



The red headed stranger had eyes like the thunder

His lips that were sad and tight

His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside

His heart was heavy as night.



Don't cross him don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow

He's ridin' and hidin' his pain

Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again.



--- Instrumental ---



A yellow haired woman leaned out of her window

Watched as he passed her way

She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion

But cast greedy eyes on the bay.



But how could she know that this dancing bay pony

Meant more to him than life

For this was the horse his little lost darlin' was ridden

When she was his wife.



The yellow haired lady came down to the tavern

Looked up the stranger there

He bought her a drink and he gave her some money

He just didn't seem to care.



She followed him out as he saddled his stallion

And laughed as she grabbed at the bay

But he shot her so quick they had no time to warn her

She never heard anyone say.



Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow

He's ridin' and hidin' his pain

Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again.



--- Instrumental ---



They buried the yellow haired woman at sunset

The stranger went free of course

'Cause you can't hang a man for shootin' a woman

Who's a tryin' to steal your horse.



Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow

He's ridin' and hidin' his pain

Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again...
