Dust on the Spur Jim to Lily his cowgirl

[Verse 1] I wANT free life and I want fresh air; And I sigh for the canter after the cattle, The crack of the whips like shots in a battle, The medley of horns and hoofs and heads That wars and wrangles and scatters and spreads; The green beneath and the blue above, And dash and danger, and life and love. [Chorus] Lily Lily used to ride Lily Lily by my side Mouse-gray mustang, bright-belled spur Lily Lily, I watched her turn (ride with me) (ride with me) [Verse 2] And Lily Lily used to ride On a mouse-gray mustang close to my side, With blue sir- op-Pay and bright-belled spur; I laughed with joy as I looked at her Little knew she of books or of creeds; An Ave Maria sufficed her needs; Little she cared, save to be by my side, To ride with me, and ever to ride, From San Saba's shore to Lavaca's tide. [Chorus] Lily Lily used to ride Lily Lily by my side Mouse-gray mustang, bright-belled spur Lily Lily , I watched her turn (ride with me) (ride with me) [Bridge] She was as bold as the billows that beat, She was as wild as the breezes that blow; From her little head to her little feet She was swayed in her supple-ness to and fro By each gust of passion; a sapling pine, On the edge of a Kansas bluff That Is like this Lily, this love of mine. [Chorus] Lily Lily used to ride Lily Lily by my side Mouse-gray mustang, bright-belled spur Lily Lily , I watched her turn (ride with me) (ride with me) Lily Lily used to ride Lily Lily by my side Mouse-gray mustang, bright-belled spur Lily Lily, I watched her turn (ride with me) Lily Lily used to ride Lily Lily by my side Mouse-gray mustang, bright-belled spur Lily Lily, I watched her turn (ride with me) (ride with me) (ride with me)
