Verse 1
I left my love in a border town
Riding off as the sun went down
And I lied to her
Told her I'd return
When the new moon came around

Verse 2
Her tears could fill a river wide
It's killing me what I feel inside
My pony only knows one way
This might be my final day

Verse 3
So if I come to find a man
He sure will die by my two hands
And if he should fire a faster gun
I'll be sorry for what I have done

Verse 4
I left my love in a border town
Riding off as the sun went down
I lied to her
Told her I'd return
Whеn the new moon came around
