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, August 14, 1941 – Santa Monica, January 18, 2023) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Considered one of the pillars of American folk-rock music, Crosby achieved international fame as a founding member of The Byrds in the 1960s, a group that helped define the sound of folk rock with hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)". After his time with The Byrds, Crosby formed a successful duo with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, known as Crosby, Stills and Nash. The trio released some of the most influential folk-rock albums of the 1970s, including "Déjà Vu" (1970) and "4 Way Street" (1971), characterized by impeccable vocal harmonies and introspective lyrics. Crosby continued to record music solo and with various musical formations until the end of his career, leaving a significant legacy in the history of American music.
