(Edith Linderman - Carl Stutz)      The red headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana   Rode into town one day   And under his knees was a raging black stallion   And lopin' behind was a bay.      The red headed stranger had eyes like the thunder   His lips that were sad and tight   His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside   His heart was heavy as night.      Don't cross him don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow   He's ridin' and hidin' his pain   Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow   Maybe he'll ride on again.      --- Instrumental ---      A yellow haired woman leaned out of her window   Watched as he passed her way   She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion   But cast greedy eyes on the bay.      But how could she know that this dancing bay pony   Meant more to him than life   For this was the horse his little lost darlin' was ridden   When she was his wife.      The yellow haired lady came down to the tavern   Looked up the stranger there   He bought her a drink and he gave her some money   He just didn't seem to care.      She followed him out as he saddled his stallion   And laughed as she grabbed at the bay   But he shot her so quick they had no time to warn her   She never heard anyone say.      Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow   He's ridin' and hidin' his pain   Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow   Maybe he'll ride on again.      --- Instrumental ---      They buried the yellow haired woman at sunset   The stranger went free of course   'Cause you can't hang a man for shootin' a woman   Who's a tryin' to steal your horse.      Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow   He's ridin' and hidin' his pain   Don't fight him, don't spite him just wait till tomorrow   Maybe he'll ride on again...
