Ruby Ridge Lyrics by Peter Rowan

2006

I'll tell you a story
Not long ago
High on a mountain
In Idaho

In Idaho
I was livin' free
Sold a sawed off shotgun
To a deputy

Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down

They killed my good dog
They killed my boy
My only son
My pride and joy
They shot my wife
Dead on the floor
Holding our baby
In the cabin door

Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down

If you take a notion
And you wanna go
Build you a cabin
In Idaho

In Idaho
You're livin' free
Don't sell no shotgun
To no deputy

Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down

Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down (Don't shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don't shoot me down
