Intro:

Come closer, my love, and you'll hear my tale. It'll make you cold. It'll turn you pale.

It's a tale of a man's never ending love and a long, black rifle.

He wed a woman sworn to an-other and, in a rage, the other man

Shot him down with a long, black rifle, shot him down and a-way he ran.

A prairie man loved a city maid. Was the love he took worth the price he paid,

When the man ends up at the smoky end of a long, black rifle?

He wed a woman sworn to an-other and, in a rage, the other man

Shot him down with a long, black rifle, shot him down and a-way he ran.
