Two hooves upon the plain, two hooves down in the graveyard My horse does have a name, one undisclosed to me We wait just by the grave for a man by name of Denver He brings the ball and chain, one custom-fit for me My story is a shame that started last November I pulled into a town, just stopping on my way My heart fell for a girl of husband, hence the mayor He found us as we lay, he vowed to shoot me dead Now the sheriff of this town is a man by name of Denver Our destinies were bound as the shots rang through the rain The shootout that he found was in the house of mayor's One body on the ground, the other ran away We wait just by the grave for a man by name of Denver My horse does have a name, one undisclosed to me One foot upon the plain, one foot down in the graveyard I bear this ball and chain, it's custom-fit for me
