Now the red-headed stranger from Blue Rock Mountain rode into [B] town one day
[E] Between his [A] knees was a raging black [F#] stallion and loping [B] behind was a bay
[E] Now the red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder
Lips that were [B] sad and tight
[E] For his little lost [A] love laid dead on a [B] hillside his heart was [E] heavy inside
[A] Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's [E] wild in his sorrow, he's riding and [B] hiding his pain
[A] Don't fight him, don't [E] spite him, just wait till [B] tomorrow and baby he'll [E] ride on again

[A] Don't cross him, don't boss him, [N] he's wild _ _ _ _ _
