Strapped my guns and courage on; set my cattle free Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled Combed her hair and laid her out; pretty as you please Watched the fire light up the night; cryin' like a child Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancing queen And asked him on his hangin' day "What was he thinkin' of?" He said "I never liked the way she treated me so mean In the end I tell you friend I did it all for love" Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all Just this side of Devil's Dream, above the sulphur mine I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost I asked him before he died "What made him cross the line?" He asked me "Did I mean the line I just stepped across?" Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all I-I-I-I Wonder why-y I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire But once I was a gentle man every bit like you SongtexteI watched the heavens open up, heard the angel choir Sing the holy song of God, 'To thine own self be true' Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all Aus Songtexte Mania
