Dixon and Johnson went riding out one day
Dixon and Johnson went riding out one day
They rode up on a mountain ten thousand miles away
Oh Lord I've been all around this world
They rode up on a woman as cold or cold or more
He wrapped her up in his coat and set her up behind him
Dixon being wearied lied down to (take a) rest
Up stepped his pretty little woman and stabbed him in the breast
She taken him to her parlor and cooled him with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear I love this gamblin man
Oh woman oh woman now see what you have done
You've killed your bravest soldier and libel to be hung
They taken her out on the mountain and told her not to run
All they gave to her was a pistol and a gun
Railroad is finished the cars are on the track
Trouble will drive a boy from home but money will bring him back
