So we're going [Bb]
to do a Joe Newberry song here.
This one's called Missouri Borderland.
[G] [C]
[Am]
[F] [C] [F]
[Am] [G]
[C] I'm far away from home with neither [Am]
[F] family [C] nor friends.
I never met, [Am] she stays so long in the [G] Missouri [C] borderland.
Three years ago, I held a job, saw the [F] world from [C] my pony sway.
Riding [F] drag on a [Am] dusty mile.
I knew [G] I'd worked when I drew [C] my pay.
The times got hard, Christ's times got mean.
I'm [Am] dealing [F] [C] with death.
And one [F] night, [Am] the worst of them laid [G] out what was an [C] awful plan.
[Am]
[F] [C]
[F] [Am]
[G] [C] I did not like such wicked talk.
[Am] Murder [F] and [C] boat robbery.
I [F] told those men [Am] I would walk.
And they [G] all aimed their [C] guns at me.
Their prisoner I held at a robbery bank.
[Am] And much [F] gold we [C] did attain.
They shot [F] a bull just [Am] for the sport.
I [G] stood and watched as young [C] life waned.
Such dreadful sounds I'd never heard.
His [Am] mother's [F] wailing [C] filled the room.
She looked [F] at me and [Am] screamed these words.
The [G] devil take you to [C] your doom.
[Am]
[F] [C]
[Dm] [Am]
[G] [C] Turned to face that murderous group.
Shot them [Am] dead.
[F] I [C] killed all four.
And [F] the only [Am] thing I rue, I [G] had not thought of [C] that before.
Apostasy found me outside town.
As I [Am] was [F] kneeling [C] there to pray.
Where my [F] gallows hide, [Am] I'm to lay down.
In a [G] dark Missouri [C] grave.
Police hide the rope stains around my neck.
When [Am] my [F] mother [C] sees me dead.
[F] Please don't let my [Am] brothers take the [G] safety path.
I chose [C] to tread, [F] cause [C] I am far away from home.
With [Am] neither [F] family [Am] nor [C] friends.
I [F] never meant to [Am] stay so long in the [G] Missouri [C] borderland.
Now I'll [F] spend [Am] eternity in [G] the Missouri [C] borderland.
So we're going [Bb]
to do a Joe Newberry song here.
