Lyrics and translation
Original
They sold me out
To the Sante Fe ring
There wasn't any trial
Where justice was no such thing
Up on Sierra Hermosa
Only the strongest last
But they'll never catch me
I'm too fast
They come riding in
Just about the break of dawn
Caliche on their jackets
For they had journeyed long
I didn't need to ask them
I knew the reason why
They brought so many men
Just to watch me die
When my time has come
And the working is all done
I'll be on my way
Into the setting sun
I've tried to take advice
I've been a gambler all my life
Getting shot from behind
That ain't no way to die
They sold me out
To the Santa Fe ring
There wasn't any trial
Where justice was no such thing
