Pat Green The Ballad of Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh Lyrics:
My daddy was an outlaw, mom died giving birth to
me, they both let me all alone when I was on
bended knee, if you don't like my story I suggest
you turn the page. I don't need no preachin', I
ain't got no soul to save. My name is Arkansas
Dave Rudebaugh and this here is Tennessee Jack,
don't you give us any lip now boy or today will be
your last, when the bank was dry we said good-bye,
walked out to the street. where a cloud of bullets
came a thundering down and took Tennessee to his
knees. I just stood there and watched him bleeding
like a fool out in the rain, didn't have time to
think when I jumped through the banks front window

pane, well I grabbed the teller in a blink of an
eye, put a colt up to his head, said careful son
don't try to run or tomorrow you'll wake up dead.
Chorus Yeah and me I've got to fly like an eagle,
free like a bird upon the wind. Hell fire and
brimstone well theyre coming down on me. Mister I
was born of sin. Well sat down in the corner and
rolled a little home grown. Said if I'm gonna die
today I sure as hell ain't goin' alone. As I ran
out the bank a shooting I was two for two at
first, until I felt a painful sound as a bullet
tore my shirt. Chorus I crawled back to the alley
way where I knew my horse was tied, and that's
where all the legends say that Arkansas Dave
Rudebaugh died, but I was in a place so far from
there in a time so long ago, in the arms of a
pretty little senorita on the Gulf of Mexico.
Chorus
