H e was born a little baby on the Appalachian Tra il
At six months old he'd done three months in ja il
H e robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby fe et
A ll he said was "Folks my name is Outlaw Pet e."
I'm Out law Pete!
I'm Out law Pete!
Can you he ar me?
Doo doo doo doo doo
At twenty-fiv e a mustang pony he did ste al
And they rode aro und and 'round on heaven's wh eel
Father Jesu s I'm an outlaw killer and a thi ef
And I sl owed down only to sow my gr ief
I'm Outl aw Pete!
I'm Outl aw Pete!
Can you he ar me?
Doo doo doo doo doo
They cut his trai l of tears across the countr yside
And where h e went women wept and men die d
One night he awoke from a vision of his own de ath
Saddle d his pony and rode her deep into the Wes t
Married a N avajo girl and settled down on the re s
And as the smoke fe ll he held that beautiful daughter to his che st
I'm Outl aw Pete!
I'm Out law Pete!
Can you h ear me?
Can you hea r me?
Can you he ar me?

He said "Pete y ou think you've changed but you have no t."
He cocked his pi stol pulled the trigger and shouted "Let it s top!"
He drew a kni fe from his boot threw it and pierced Dan through the h eart
Dan smile d as he laid in his own blood dying in the su n
And whispered in Pete's ea r "We cannot undue these things we've don e."
You're Outl aw Pete!
You're Outl aw Pete!
Can you he ar me?

For forty day s and nights Pete rode and did not sto p
Till he sat hi gh upon an icy mountain to p
He watched the ha wk on a desert updraft slip and sli de
Moved to the edg e and dug his spurs deep into his pony's si de
Some say Pet e and his pony vanished over the edg e
Some say they rema in frozen high upon that icy le dge
The young Na vajo girl washes in the river skin so f air
And braids a pie ce of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hai r
Outla w Pete!
Outla w Pete!
Can you he ar me?

Can you hea r me?
