Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
E
Sam Bess was born in Indiana,
B
E
it was his native home.
And at the age of seventeen,
B
young Sam began to roam.
A
Sam first came out to Texas,
A kinder hearted fella you'd
B
E
seldom ever see
Sam used to deal in race stock,
B
E
one called the Denton Bear
He matched her in scrub races
B
and took her to the fair
A
Sam used to coin the money bars
E
and spend it just as free
He always drank good whiskey
B
E
wherever he might be
Sam left the Collins Ranch
B
E
in the merry month of May
With a herd of Texas
B
cattle the Black Hills far to see
A
Sold out in Custer City
E
and then got on a spree
A harder set of cowboys
B
E
you'd seldom ever see
On their way back to Texas,
B
E
they robbed the UP train
Then split up in couples
A
Joe Collins and his partner
With all their hard -earned money,
boys,
B
E
they had to meet their doom
Sam made it back to Texas,
B
E
all right side up with care
Rode into the town of Denton,
B
with all his friends to share
A
Sam's life was short in Texas,
E
three robberies did he do
He robbed all the passenger mail
B
E
and express cars too
Sam met his fate in Round Rock
B
E
July the 21st
They pierced poor Sam with rifle balls
B
and emptied out his purse
E
and six foot under clay
And Jackson's in the bushes, boys,
B
E
a -tryin' to get away
Jim had borrowed Sam's good gold
B
E
and didn't want to pay
The only shot he saw
B
was to give poor Sam away
A
He sold out Sam and Barnes
E
and left their friends to mourn
Oh, what a scorchin' Jim will get
B
E
when Gabriel blows his horn
Yes, he sold out salmon barns
B
E
and left their friends to mourn
Oh, what a scorchin' gem we'll get
B
when Gabriel blows his horn
A
Perhaps he's got to heaven,
E
there's none of us can say
B
But if I'm right in my surmise,
he's gone the other way
