From one town to another He would ride like the wind
But his mind kept going back to the street
Where a young cowboy died
And a young maiden cried
And rose petals fell in the sand
And his heart had been softened By the beautiful maid
And he knew he must see her again
Well he went back to the town
Where it all had come down
And he searched but his search was in vain
He had wanted to find her And say he was sorry
For causing her heart so much pain
But one night he died
From a poison inside
Brought on by the wrong he had done
And old Tougher Than Leather
Had carved his last notch on his gun
Well he was burried in Cow Town
Along about sundown
Lookin＇ good in his new store-bought clothes
When the young maiden came over
And knelt down beside him
And on his lapel placed a rose
There＇s a bird in the sky
Flying high flying high
To a place from a place
Changing skies changing skies
