lyrics

I rode my horse to Bordertown just as fast as he could run
But I could not get there fast enough to avoid the sheriff’s gun
Then they laid me on my horse’s back while my life-blood flowed away
‘Til the doctor pulled the bullet out and sent us on our way

Then they led me to the courthouse and threw me in a cell
While the judge passed down his verdict, he sentenced me to hell
And now I’m staring at the gallows while the hangman takes his fee
And he’s testing out his trapdoor so that everyone could see

But I will rise where I am fallen, I will swim the sea so wide
Where my true love will be waiting when I make the other side
I will rise where I am fallen, I will swim the sea so wide
Where my true love will be waiting when I make the other side

Well, they tried their best to hang me but the trapdoor would not drop
Three times I’m left there standing ‘til the judge cried “hold, enough”
If three times the noose is tightened and three times she does not hang
Then her crimes must all be pardoned for that’s the law of this proud land

I will rise where I am fallen, I will swim the sea so wide
Where my true love will be waiting when I make the other side
I will rise where I am fallen, I will swim the sea so wide
Where my true love will be waiting when I make the other side

I will rise where I am fallen, I will swim the sea so wide
Where my true love will be waiting when I make the other side

Described as "champions of fresh bluegrass but with a bedraggled soul of rock and roots," the band takes their audience on a journey down life's crooked highway.

"They blend like one of the legendary bluegrass or country families…” American Songwriter
