On the plains of Oklahoma The year 1893 A young outlaw was outrunning fate on a stallion and the breeze He'd been wanted for several months now For robbing banks and graves But he was just too sly he was just too quick, no one even knew his name All the money he had stolen He didn't keep for long He sent it home to his love and he told her to hold on Soon I'll be home beneath the willow tree where you first loved me Soon I'll be home beneath the willow tree where you first loved me Every week he sent her letters He sent the money and his love He said "Very soon we'll have enough. We can leave this place and run" Maybe to Montana Or the gorgeous coasts of Maine Maybe Tennessee or Caroline but we're leaving all the same Soon I'll be home beneath the willow tree where you first loved me Soon I'll be home beneath the willow tree where you first loved me He had sent his final letter They finally had enough He said "I'll be home June 19th, we can ride off with the sun" But as he rode toward his homestead He saw several several horses there Then he saw three federal marshals. He was wanted alive or dead The gunfire pierced the silence The silence of the night He fell off his horse into the dust and he gazed into the sky There beneath the willow tree he lay a bleeding, drifting off to sleep There beneath the willow tree is where he sleeps, six feet deep
