into the canyon


drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
drunken horse went wrong

into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon

did not mind a thing
and it whistled a song

humhum

into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon

horse had left its town
and old farmer’s son
and the farmersons whip

shootings, and spikes,
cattles, and rides,

and all around 
far from the canyon

drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
drunken horse went wrong

into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon
into the canyon

..

hadn’t it seen the bones
that just seem to be stones
didn’t it hear the screams
that come from the last of all homes

all those fears and souls
that cry and howl

for you won’t go into
the canyon

drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
drunken horse did run
little horse is gone.
