lyrics

Old devil’s rope
Old devil’s rope
Old devil’s rope
Stretched from here to Idaho
Old devil’s rope
And wild roses

Smoke and dust on the plains
Smoke and dust on the plains
Smoke and dust on the plains
But this storm holds no rain
Just smoke and dust
For the wild roses

Long trucks they come
Long trucks they come
Long trucks they come
Where the buffalo did run
Long trucks they come
Through the wild roses

There’s crude in this land
There’s crude in this land
There’s crude in this land
Drumheller be damned
There’s crude in your land
‘Neath the wild roses

The prairie’s the bed of a woman fair
With big sky eyes and golden wheat hair
And blood slick and black as a crow in the air
Her face is a cowboy love song
Her heart is a deer-skin drum
And she’s an old soul
Of wild roses

Old devil’s rope
Old devil’s rope
Old devil’s rope
Stretched from here to Idaho
Old devil’s rope
And wild roses
