This Lonesome Heart

That old prairie wind is blowing 
  I can feel it on my face 
  As the land, it rolls out before me 
  Everything is in it's place 

  My old home, I'll never go to 
  My old home, I'll never see 
  For I must ride now across these flatlands 
  Fleein' the man who murdered me 

  Chorus: 
  By the dawn's early light 
  Oh now, I must saddle up and ride 
  By the dawn's early light 
  Oh now, ride through the night 
  Into the dawn's early light 

  In the state of Indiana 
  Lived the man who killed my son 
  I shot him dead, now I did it indeed 
  After ten long years on the run 

  But that man, he was not a loner 
  Had two brothers, Lord, you see 
  They flipped a coin to let fate decide 
  Which one would come and murder me 

  [ Chorus ] 

  Sun comes up, down in the valley 
  In the air, sensation (???) 
  When I see comin' up around the corner 
  Both of the Brothers riding right in front of me 

  Down in the valley it's two against one 
  All men reaching for their guns 
  Three shots fired down deep in the valley 
  Two men dying in the morning sun 

  By the dawn's early light 
  My boy's kneelin' by my side 
  By the dawn's early light 
  As I lay me down to die 

  By the dawn's early light 
  Oh now, I must saddle up and ride 
  By the dawn's early light 
  Oh now, ride through the night 

  Riding along into the night 
  Riding along into the night 
  Well, it must've been five, six years ago under the dawn's early light 
  Well, I led my darling down the old vermillion way 
  Well, I led her down to the riverside (???) 
  And we said our vows in the moonlight that night 
  And we knew from that day we'd never be apart 
  But then it all changed in the blink of an eye
