(Dwellers on the bluff)

Ah, The Wide Missouri

Dwellers
on
the bluff

Across
The Wide Missouri

Never enough
No,
Never enough.

Whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will

Scissoring high,
in the trees,

A beating
would do me
a world
of good
Sneakin by
Sneakin by

I am down
on my knees

A beating
would do me
a world
of good.

I took it
from
Saxon.

I took it
from
Dad.

From
Fat
Johnny Friendly.

From
3 vigilantes.

I took it
for
Wild One
And then
for
my sin

I took it
from
Lizbeth
again
and
again.

Ah, The Wide Missouri

Dwellers
on
the bluff

Across
The Wide Missouri

Never enough
No,
Never enough.

Whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will

Scissoring high,
in the trees,

A beating
would do me
a world
of good

Sneakin by
Sneakin by

I am down
on my knees

A beating
would do me
a world
of good.
