[Verse 1]
Sun hangs low in the western sky
I bow my head and remember now
Someone's lips pressed close to mine
Her cool hand upon my brow
[Verse 2]
Hell burns for a killer's heart
A shallow grave in an unmarked plot
Crack of gunfire in the dark
Hand in hand, we'll walk at daybreak
[Verse 3]
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
[Verse 4]
The trail of tears is windin' on
Many pass along the road
Dusty soldiers march along
As they file one by one
[Verse 5]
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
[Verse 6]
Trail of tears is windin' on
Frightened soldier, run no more
Arm in arm with lovers gone
No one passes on the road
[Verse 7]
Two girls wait by the railroad track
For their soldiers to come back
Knowin' this will be their last
One wore blue and one wore black
[Verse 8]
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
One wore black
