The Hunter's Ballad

By Anonymous

Here comes riding the hunter,

Hear the great thunder

Of his horse trodding along

And see his wicked glare


For now he has come,

To set everything ablaze

As he rides along

With such an evil gaze


For he is the fiercest of hunters

And will take any bounty

As long as he see fit

For he is the fiercest in the county


And now he comes,

Riding along and screaming

“Now, come sundown”

And now he is beaming


But tonight is his last ride 

For he is no longer the best

And that cowboy will win

For this is the wild west
