[Lyric] Grey Ghost (Deer Creek Boys)

[Verse 1]
One man holds a rifle, the other man holds the reins
Wagon wheel leads a dusty trail, where many men's been slain
I follow close behind them, draw a pistol from my side
I drew a lead upon them, and let my bullet fire
I pulled upon the reins as their wagon hit the berth
And I hopped down to my stallion's side
I fired on them again, now they both lay there dead
Nevermore to invade my native land
Whoa oh
My dixieland

[Verse 2]
I gathered up all their things, and on top my suit of grey
I covered myself in blue and gold
Prayed to God my soul to keep, as I rolled along the creek
Where I saw the federal fire glow
I asked to see the captain, I bring news of the day
They led me to the tent where the sleeping captain lay
I entered his corners and I woke him there
My sword placed upon his heart and pistol in the air
Whoa oh
My pistol's in the air
[Verse 3]
Well, I thrust my saber through him, saw the blood hit the ground
I covered his mouth, and he made not a sound
Well, I ran to the entrance, slipped away in the night
The guards, they never knew that he was dead 'till morning light
Well, I am the Grey Ghost, and onward I ride
High upon my stallion, sword and pistol by my side
For my dixieland
For my dixieland
