They sold me outTo the Santa Fe RingThere wasn't any trialWhere justice was no such thingUp on Sierra HermosaOnly the strongest lastBut they'll never catch meI'm too fastThey come riding inJust about the break of dawnCaliche on their jacketsFor they had journeyed longI didn't need to ask themI knew the reason whyThey brought so many menJust to watch me dieWhen my time has comeAnd the working is all doneI'll be on my wayInto the setting sunI've tried to take adviceI've been a gambler all my lifeGetting shot from behindThat ain't no way to dieThey sold me outTo the Santa Fe RingThere wasn't any trialWhere justice was no such thing
