Me And My Good Partners

 We Were Riding Back To Our Camp

 We Were Feeling Very Fine

 And The Air Was Clear And Slightly Damp

And We Were Riding Back To Have Ourselves A Party

To Celebrate The Robbing Of The Train

 We Were Talking Kind Of Low And Lazy

 About Not Having To Go Out Soon Again

 You Know We Hadn't Been Back Home Two Hours

 We Heard A Hawk Cry Out In The Night

 And You Know That's A Signal From Young Billy, Who's Our Sentry

 He's Saying Something Here Ain't Exactly Right

 So We Quick Grabbed Some Of Our Hardware

 Stumbled Out Of Our Home

 In Two Minutes Flat We Had Found Her

 An Indian Girl All Alone

 And Eli Said, "Let's Take Her Back To The Cabin"

 I Said, "You Don't Know She Might Be The Law, Yeah"

 He Said, Smiling Kind Of Nasty,

 "It Ain't Too Damn Likely She'll Beat Me To The Draw."

 As We Were Walking Back Through The Darkness,

 I Heard The Duke, He's Our Dynamiter, Say,

 He Said, "What's Your Name, Sweet Little Indian Girl?"

 She Said, "Raven." And She Looked Away.

 Right Then I Didn't Trust Her, No And I Said So, Oh No

 Now, Eli, He's Our Fastest Gunner

 He's Kind Of Mean And Young From The South

 He Said, "Fat Albert, You're Getting Kind Of Old And Weird Now."

 "You'd Better Get Your Twelve Gauge Shot Gun Right Out."

And I Did, You Know I Did

 Now Eli And The Duke They Got Down To It

 They Each Wanted The Indian Girl For Their Own

 But When They Finally Got Around To Asking Her

 You Know She Said She'd Come To Take Young Billy Home

 Eli Said He'd Kill Young Billy

 He'd Kill The Duke, And Probably Me Too, Yeah

 The Indian Girl Said, "Go Ahead Now Do It"

 I Said "Stop It", And She Bit My Thumb Nearly Clean Through

 And When They Finally Started To Break Down The Door

 I Smeared My Face Up With Blood From My Thumb

 I Laid Down On The Floor And Played Real Good Possum

You Know I'm Crazy But I Ain't Real Dumb

 Now I'm Dying Here In Albuquerque

 I Must Be The Sorriest Sight You Ever Saw

 You Know The Reason I'm The Only Man Here To Tell It

 You Know That Indian Girl, She Wasn't An Indian She Was The Law
