Our Sunshine

There came a man on a stolen horse And he rode right onto the page Burning bright but not for long Lit up with a holy rage No turning back for the child of grace With the blood red on his hand Never known to hurt a woman He never robbed an honest man His mother held in jail, his daddy dead And daily rising the price upon his head Our sunshine, our sunshine Through fire and flood, through tears and blood Through dust and mud still riding on Forever trapped in a suit of steel With the hotel burning behind Betrayed by his companions And the train waiting down the line Forever tall on a bareback horse Getting through by the skin of his teeth It's one more for the ladies Now one more for the police Riding all night hungry, tired and cold Into the misty morning He'll never grow old Our sunshine, our sunshine Through fire and flood, through tears and blood Through dust and mud still riding on As he stood before the judge’s chair He said ‘I’m free and easy-I’ll see you there!’ Our sunshine, our sunshine Through fire and flood, through tears and blood Through dust and mud still riding on --- Our Sunshine - Paul Kelly
