Covington Girl Lyrics by David Olney

Dutchman’s Curve

0

[Verse 1]
Billy put a bullet in the chamber of the gun
Bobby saddled up the bay
A way over yonder the 10:15
Was rattling on its way, boys
Rattling on its way
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "Billy, keep your head on straight
Just take the money and ride
Bobby, you do like your big brother says
And I'll see you 'round dinnertime, boys
See you 'round dinnertime"
[Chorus]
Life is grand with money to spend
On anything in this world
A bonnet for Ma and a fiddle for Pa
And a ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
A ribbon for my Covington girl
[Verse 3]
Well, they rode and they rode to the top of the hill
Rolled a rock down the side of the ridge
And it came to rest on the railroad tracks
Where thе train comes off of the bridge, boys
Thе train comes off of the bridge
[Verse 4]
Billy held a gun on the railroad men
Bobby took a walk through the train
Took the rings from the women and the money from the men
And every gold watch and chain, Lord
Every gold watch and chain
[Chorus]
Life is grand with money to spend
On anything in this world
A bonnet for Ma and a fiddle for Pa
And a ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
A ribbon for my Covington girl
[Penny Whistle Solo]
[Chorus]
Life is grand with money to spend
On anything in this world
A bonnet for Ma and a fiddle for Pa
And a ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
A ribbon for my Covington girl
[Outro]
A ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
A ribbon for my Covington girl
A ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
Ribbon for my Covington girl
A ribbon for my Covington girl, boys
A ribbon for my Covington girl
