Michael Martin Murphey Emila Farewell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the grey early light day
Sometimes i can still hear her say
Please don't ride with the boys today
But outlaws never listened anyway
It was a cold cowboy goodbye
I didn't have an alibi
She said the price on your head is high
And wanted men, don't come back alive

[Chorus]
Blue skies aging snow, pinion burning glow
Morning mission bell Emilia Farewell

[Verse 2]
We had the drop on the feds Yeah they were all left for dead
How could i know it was my head
My brothers would fill up with led
They saw the fear in my eyes
As they left and let those bullets
I fell face down in the night
They took the gold and left me there to die

[Chorus]
Blue skies aging snow, pinion burning glow
Morning mission bell Emilia Farewell,Farewell
Emilia Farewell,Farewell
