Daddy was a Devil,
Married a Cherokee
The stars were wrong,
Winds of time said it would never be
They say she's lying in the Desert,
With a cactus where her tombstone should be.

Daddy took her from him
That's what the Lawman said
Found her car on the highway,
Dashboard covered red
Now the Sheriff says he won't rest,
Til he sees my Daddy dead.

Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Daddy be free
Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Daddy be free
Don't worry about me Daddy,
Momma lives on in me.

The whole town thinks you're guilty
I can't believe its true
They found another body
And they're coming after you
Daddy, Daddy be free,
I couldn't bear to see you hang now,
you'd be hanging for me.

Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Daddy be free
Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Daddy be free
I swear I had to do it now,
I it was either him or me.
