My horse is crippled (2:59) I’m from a town called Bulls Gap, Tennessee Where my ol’man used to run whiskey Squeaked by a tell-on-rat, daddy died in jail That’s why I’m riding on this never ending trail I got a gun in my holster and one in my boot For safety I carry some rattlesnake root The land sounds a cry of water and mud In my mouth I got a gilded taste of blood My horse is crippled and it’s pouring down with rain I got ice cold water running in my veins My horse is crippled but our hopes will come to be He’s gonna get what he deserves for what he’s done to My daddy and me I’m on a mission, I’m on this trail Looking for the man with the scorpion tail A Dutchman he is from near the river Rhine I’m gonna find, rope and brand the dirty old swine My horse is crippled and it’s pouring down with rain I got ice cold water running in my veins My horse is crippled but our hopes will come to be He’s gonna get what he deserves for what he’s done to My daddy and me  Muziek: Jan van der Meij Tekst: Frédérique Spigt (P) & (C) 2011 Canarino
