"I've been where it hurts." the Kid
He becomes Sierra Kid
I passed Slimgullion, Morgan Mine,
Camp Seco, and the rotting Lode.
Dark walls of sugar pine --,
And where I left the road

Talked to no one, thought
Of nothing. When my luck ran out

I swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel
in the center of the road and that's when
the deer came charging out of the forest
and forced me to hit the brakes for all I

out of Mrs. Bancroft's front yard and I swung
back perhaps just grazing...Read more of this...

Tune your old guitarra till she twangs right stout,
For the snow is on the mountains and the wind is on the plain,

The wing trails like a banner in defeat,
No more to use the sky forever but live with famine

Desert blue and silver in the still moonshine,
Coyote yappin' lazy on the hill,
Sleepy winks of lightnin' down the far sky line,
Time for millin' cattle to be still.
_So--o now, the lightnin's far away,_
