Key: E major•
Verse 1
B
E
it was his native home.
And at the age of seventeen,
A kinder hearted fella you'd
B
E
seldom ever see
Sam used to deal in race stock,
B
E
one called the Denton Bear
He matched her in scrub races
He always drank good whiskey
B
E
wherever he might be
Sam left the Collins Ranch
B
E
in the merry month of May
With a herd of Texas
A harder set of cowboys
B
E
you'd seldom ever see
On their way back to Texas,
B
E
they robbed the UP train
Then split up in couples
With all their hard -earned money,
boys,
B
E
they had to meet their doom
Sam made it back to Texas,
B
E
all right side up with care
Rode into the town of Denton,
He robbed all the passenger mail
B
E
and express cars too
Sam met his fate in Round Rock
B
E
July the 21st
They pierced poor Sam with rifle balls
And Jackson's in the bushes, boys,
B
E
a -tryin' to get away
Jim had borrowed Sam's good gold
B
E
and didn't want to pay
The only shot he saw
Oh, what a scorchin' Jim will get
B
E
when Gabriel blows his horn
Yes, he sold out salmon barns
B
E
and left their friends to mourn
Oh, what a scorchin' gem we'll get
he's gone the other way
E
