Stray Bullet

[Verse 1]

In the tall grass, we held hands

Down by the river, we made plans

Of what would and would not be

It was impossible to see

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]

Their black boots shone in the sun

They were waiting on the Annandale train when my baby come

Little girl with the long black hair

Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear?

[Verse 3]

Once, I swore you'd ride with me (To some far and distant shore)

Down where this river meets the sea (I'll make you mine forevermore)

Over these dark hills, I'd walk alone (Just to hold you in my arms)

To lie with you on a bed of stone

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 4]

River blood-red with the years

You can flood this valley with a thousand tears

Wash away all that's been found

But you'll never wash away the sound

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down (Stray bullet that shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down (Stray bullet that shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down (Stray bullet that shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down

[Instrumental break]
