The Cruel Earth - Cowboy Joe Lyrics

There's a man
Wears a hat
Rides a horse
O'er the plains
Don't know
His formal name
But everybody calls him Cowboy Joe
Oh Joe, we're waiting for you
Oh Joe, the rain's comin down
Oh Joe, we left a light on for ya
Won't you save us, Joe?
Joe rode out
O'er the plains
Trying to save
A wagon train
Ambushed at
The washed-out gulch
That's how engines captured Cowboy Joe.
Oh Joe, we're comin for ya
Oh Joe, we won't let you down
Oh Joe, got a posse formin'
Bound to save poor Joe
Tortured by
Red engines
Cowboy Joe
Was on his own
But late at night
He escaped
They will never catch you Cowboy Joe
Go Joe, we're pulling for you
Go Joe, run hard through the night
Go Joe, hide among the pine trees
They will never catch you, Joe
The wagon train
Joe tried to save
Crashed and burned
Near Alberquer
The rescue folk
Sent for Joe
Were caught and slaughtered by red engines too
Oh Joe, we're so sorry
Oh Joe, we tried out best
Oh Joe, the gods were angry
We have failed you, Joe
Joe survived
All alone
O'er the plains
He did roam
To this day
You can hear
Cowboy Joe crying in the night
Oh hell, I just blew it
Oh damn, I got em all killed
Oh lord, all I loved is gone
A new low for Joe
