text: In the tall grass we held hands
  Down by the river we made plans
  Of what would and would not be
  It was impossible to see
  Their black boots shone in the sun
  They were waiting on the Annandale train when my baby come
  Little girl with the long black hair
  Do you know what lies ’neath the long coats that they wear
  Once I swore you’d ride with me
  Down where this river meets the sea
  Over these dark hills I walk along
  To lie with you on a bed of stone
  River blood red with the years
  You can flood this valley with a thousand tears
  Wash away all that’s been found
  But you’ll never wash away the sound
  Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
  Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
  Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
  Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down
