Me and my good partners
We were riding back to our camp
We were feeling very fine
And the air was clear and slightly damp
And we were riding back to have ourselves a party
To celebrate the robbing of the train.
We were talking kind of low and lazy
About not having to go out soon again
You know we hadn't been back home two hours
We heard a hawk cry out in the night
And you know that's a signal from young Billy, who's our sentry
He's saying something here ain't exactly right
So we quick grabbed some of our hardware
Stumbled out of our home
In two minutes flat we had found her
An Indian girl all alone
And Eli said, "Let's take her back to the cabin"
I said, "You don't know she might be the law, yeah"
He said, smiling kind of nasty,
"It ain't too damn likely she'll beat me to the draw."
As we were walking back through the darkness,
I heard the Duke, he's our dynamiter, say,
He said, "What's your name, sweet little Indian girl?"
She said, "Raven." and she looked away.
Right then I didn't trust her, no and I said so, oh no.
Now, Eli, he's our fastest gunner
He's kind of mean and young from the South
He said, "Fat Albert, you're getting kind of old and weird now."
"You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out."
Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it
They each wanted the Indian girl for their own
But when they finally got around to asking her
You know she said she'd come to take young Billy home
Eli said he'd kill young Billy
He'd kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeah
The Indian girl said, "Go ahead now do it"
I said "Stop it", and she bit my thumb nearly clean through
And when they finally started to break down the door
I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb
I laid down on the floor and played real good possum
You know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumb
Now I'm dying here in Albuquerque
I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw
You know the reason I'm the only man here to tell it
You know that Indian girl, she wasn't an Indian she was the law

David Van Cortlandt Crosby (Los Angeles, 14 agosto 1941 – Santa Monica, 18 gennaio 2023) è stato un chitarrista, cantautore e musicista statunitense. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica folk-rock americana, Crosby ha raggiunto fama internazionale come membro fondatore dei Byrds negli anni '60, gruppo che ha contribuito a definire il suono del folk rock con successi come "Mr. Tambourine Man" e "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)". Dopo la sua esperienza con i Byrds, Crosby ha formato un duo di successo con Stephen Stills e Graham Nash, noto come Crosby, Stills and Nash. Il trio ha pubblicato alcuni degli album folk-rock più influenti degli anni '70, tra cui "Déjà Vu" (1970) e "4 Way Street" (1971), caratterizzati da armonie vocali impeccabili e testi introspettivi. Crosby ha continuato a registrare musica in solitario e con diverse formazioni musicali fino alla fine della sua carriera, lasciando un'eredità significativa nella storia della musica americana.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
