[03:01.34] Amanda was kneelin'
[03:03.46] Beside the dead cowboy
[03:05.86] Plainly expressing her grief
[03:09.58] As I bowed my head
[03:12.22] A tremble shot through me
[03:14.36] My six-gun
[03:15.43] Was still at my side
[03:18.89] I felt my pockets
[03:20.74] And there was my money
[03:22.60] I fell to my knees and I cried
[03:26.59] A nightmare of mescal
