Billy Grey rode into Gantry, way back in ’83
There he did meet young Sarah McRae
In a wild rose of morning, that pale flower of dawning
Herald of springtime in Billy's young life that day.
Well Sarah she could not see the daylight of reality
Her young eyes Billy bore not a flaw
Not knowing her chosen one was a hired gun
Wanted in Kansas City by the law.
Then one day a tall man came riding ‘cross the badlands
Lying to the North of old New Mexico
He was over her to say he was lookin’ for Bill Grey
A ruthless man and a dangerous outlaw.
Well, the deadly news came creepin’ to Billy Grey fast sleeping
There in the Claredon bar and hotel
He fled toward the old church, there on the outskirts
Thinkin’ he’d climb to that old steeple bell.
But a rifle ball came flying, face down he lay dying
There in the dust of the road where he fell
And Sarah she ran to him just cursing the law man
Accepting no reason just knowin’ he was killed
Well Sarah lives in that same old white frame house
Where she first met Billy some forty years ago
And wild rose of morning she’s faded with the dawning
For each day of sorrow these long years have sown.
And written on the stone where the dusty winds have long blown
Eighteen words to this passing world say
“True love knows no season, no rhyme and no reason
Justice is cold as the Cranger County clay.”
"True love knows no season, no rhyme and no reason
Justice is cold as the Cranger County clay.”
