He just rode in from Nevada As the leaves turned brown With the dust from off the desert He drifted into town It was easy to see he was a gambler And the ladies all knew what he was after
He was the man in black Nobody knew why he came The man in black Does anyone here know his name?
He made his bed down by the river There he spent his days One by one all the ladies fell beneath his gaze They knew very well they were in danger But they were under the spell of a stranger
He was the man in black Nobody knew why he came The man in black Does anyone here know his name?
Can you tell me where he's hiding and Was there a young woman with him? She is my daughter I've come to fetch her And when I find her I swear that man's gonna die
He was the man in black Nobody knew why he came The man in black Does anyone here know his name?
He was the man in black Nobody knew why he came The man in black Does anyone here know his name?
He was the man in black Nobody knew why he came The man in black Does anyone here know his name?
