Now don't you remember that Rocky Mountain side
Where we laid down to rest
You promised you'd be my blue-eyed boy
With the sun going down in the west

I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your blue eyes shine
Or heard you're lying tongue

Now hand me down my old white coat
It's hanging there on the rail
Before this time tomorrow night
I'll be on that long lost trail

Well I never will believe what one man says
Though his eyes be blue or brown
Unless he's hanging from a scaffold high
Saying darling I can't come down

Well I never will believe what one man says
Though his eyes be blue or brown
Unless he's hanging from a scaffold high
Saying darling I can't come down
