Tucumcari

I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Make camp where the land is bare I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Ain't no one gonna find me there Ain't no one gonna find me there Found trouble in the town I come from Left six months ago or so I had to run from the man I wronged there With no aim as to where to go And I'm told that the law ain't there yet And the ones who tried are dead But if the lawman come to find me I'll make that river red I'll make that river red I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Kick dust up the riverbed And in the shadow of the Spanish fortress I'll lay my weary head To an Indian girl, I'll marry On a calico horse, we'll ride I won't leave until I'm dead and buried With the silver in the mountainside I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Kick dust up the river bed In the shadow of the Spanish fortress I'll lay my weary head To an Indian girl I'll marry On a calico horse, we'll ride I won't leave until I'm dead and buried With the silver in the mountainside I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Make camp where the land is bare I'm gon' run away to Tucumcari Ain't no one gonna find me
