Red Headed Stranger
recorded by
Willie Nelson
[3/4 time]
written by Edith Linderman and Carl Stutz
C
The
red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana
G7
Rode
into town one day
C
F
C
And
under his knees was a raging black stallion
D7
G7
And
walking behind was a bay
C
The
red-headed stranger had eyes like thunder
G7
And
lips that were sad and tight
C
F
C
His
little lost love lay asleep on the hillside
G7 C
And
his heart was heavy as night
F
So
don't cross him don't boss him
C
He's
wild in his sorrow
G7
He's
riding and he's hiding his pain
F
Don't
fight him don't spite him
C
Just
wait 'til tomorrow
G7 C
Maybe
he'll ride on again
A
yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window
G7
And
watched as he passed her way
C
F
C
And
she drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion
D7
G7
But
cast greedy eyes on the bay
C
But
how could she know that the dancing bay pony
G7
Meant
more to him than life
C
F
C
For
this was the horse that his little lost darling
G7
C
Had
ridden when she was his wife
Repeat
#3
The
yellow-haired lady went down to the tavern
G7
And
looked up the stranger there
C
F
C
He
bought her a drink and he gave her some money
D7
G7
But he
just didn't seem to care
C
She
followed him out as he saddled his stallion
G7
And
laughed as she grabbed at the bay
C
F
C
He
shot her so quick they had no time to warn her
G7
C
She
never heard anyone say
Repeat
#3
The
yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset
G7
The
stranger went free of course
C
F
C
For
you can't hang a man for killing a woman
D7
G7
Who's
trying to steal your horse
C
Now
this is the tale of the red-headed stranger
G7
And if
he should pass your way
C
F
C
Stay
out of the path of the raging black stallion
G7
C
And
don't lay a hand on the bay
Repeat
#3
