Aaron Bibelhauser - Boot Hill Grave Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I told her that I wasn't gone to stay
When I headed out to California
The folks there mining her for gold
Had all the riches they could hold
Could have been the key to set this family free
From the shackles and the chains of poverty

[Chorus]
When you make it through Nevada
And you see the bear flag wave
Then you know you're getting closer
To my lonesome Boot Hill grave

[Verse 2]
Rumors in the year of forty nine
Tales of riches filling up my mind
The promise of a better life
For my children and my wife
I rode the train as far as it would run
With nothing but a suitcase and a gun
I got into a card game with a man
Who held more than four aces in his hand
I was desperate enough
So I called him on his bluff
Still a hundred miles from Sutters Mill
Killed for just a dirty dollar bill
