[00:0.0]Chambers - Ben Nichols
[00:6.15]Born under a south kentucky sky
[00:11.56]He'd come west to mexico
[00:13.86]To fight eighteen fourty two at mier
[00:20.05]The gutters filled with blood and fear
[00:22.92]Barely made it back to texas alive
[00:28.37]With missouri volunteers when the war began
[00:34.25]Fourty six they crossed the rio grande
[00:40.13]There he met his dark-eyed love
[00:42.79]But said good bye when the war was done
[00:45.65]He swore that he'd come back for her again
[00:51.57]Oh oh novia
[01:04.82]Oh oh your man is gone
[01:23.95]Maybe he's in texas
[01:27.28]But we'll take what god has left us
[01:32.93]And we'll leave for california with the dawn
[01:42.77]Worked his way back to old mexico
[01:52.12]To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
[01:61.83]Back to those same city walls
[01:66.42]Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
[01:70.7]Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
[01:81.18]They put him in a prison left alone
[01:90.5]With other yankee fools so far from home
[02:00.13]Parade them through the square in chains
[02:04.45]Till in rode captain glanton's gang
[02:09.75]Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
[02:19.28]Oh oh novia
[02:38.3]Oh oh your man is gone
[02:57.33]Maybe he's in texas
[02:59.45]But we'll take what god has left us
[02:65.92]And we'll leave for california with the dawn
[02:76.08]Glanton's men were killers all by trade
[02:85.5]And through the prison bars a deal was made
[02:95.02]Glanton needed three new men
[02:98.97]Hired the lovelorn veteran
[03:03.07]The killers rode out through the governor's gates
[03:13.75]The veteran left camp fore the rising sun
[03:22.65]No killer he'd left other work undone
[03:33.08]He was not yet two days out
[03:37.67]When glanton's naked native scouts
[03:41.98]Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
[03:52.18]Oh oh novia
[03:71.03]Oh oh your man is gone
[03:90.15]Maybe he's in texas
[03:93.07]But we'll take what god has left us
[03:99.02]And we'll leave for california with the dawn
[04:09.07]Oh oh novia
[04:27.82]Oh oh your man is gone
[04:46.82]Maybe he's in texas
[04:49.33]But we'll take what god has left us
[04:55.5]And we'll leave for california with the dawn
