Outlaw

OUTLAW Dave Hole (Dave Hole Music)


When I was an outlaw on the Goldfields
I’d shoot and kill, I’d rob and I’d steal
I’d take a man’s money, I’d take a man’s wife
Take my love on the run, no fear for my life

The Great Eastern Highway, was my home
I slept one eye open, and I rode out alone
I new every creek, every waterhole
And every time, a miner struck gold

I was an outlaw, on the Darling Range
I know I was to blame, the whole world knew my name
I was and Outlaw!
Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

Now buy me a whisky and I’ll tell you the tale
How I locked three troupers, in their own gaol
I still sleep in the ditch, on the roadside
Reigns in my hand, saddled ready to ride

Now I’m an old man, I’m no longer strong
I don’t have the right, to live for this long
When the wind’s on the range, and the moon is just right
Look out there for me, in the ghostly light
