Bounty

Where are you, Shannon?
 I'd say, I'm a lover, not a fighter
 I never stare nobody down
 'Til one night my girl–
 I could not find her–
 She never made it back from town
 I found my Shannon crying in the woods
 Wicked man held her down
 So I stuck him deep and I buried him good
 Not deep enough to fool the hounds
 We took shelter in a chapel
 'neath the blood moon sky
 I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
 We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
 Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
 No I ain't worth a penny Of my bounty back home
 That train stopped in Tijuana
 We built a shack beneath the sun
 I make my Shannon margaritas
 We watch our children laugh and run, run, run
 Sometimes I miss my daddy
 Sometimes I miss my mom
 But I think they'd be real proud of me
 To know the man that I've become
 We took shelter in a chapel
 'neath the blood moon sky
 I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
 We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
 Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
 No I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
 Train, train roll on
 Train, train roll on
 Train, train roll on, roll on
 Shannon, why'd you run with me?
 She said,
 "What was I supposed to do boy?
 Just watch you leave?
 You'd have broken my heart
 You'd have haunted my dreams
 Your love, boy, is all I need
 Your love, boy, is all I'll ever need."
 We took shelter in a chapel
 'neath the blood moon sky
 I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
 We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
 Where we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home
 No we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home
