1.In a land the Spanish once had called the Northern Mystery
Where rivers run and disappear And the Mustang still lives free
By the Devil?s wash and the coyote hole In the wild Owyee Range
Somewhere in the sage tonight The wind calls out his name Aye Aye Aye
2.Come gather round me buckaroos And a story I will tell
?Bout the fugitive Claude Dallas Who just broke out of jail
You might think this tale is history From before the West was won
But the events that I?ll describe took place in 1981
3. He was born out in Virginia Left home when school was through
In the deserts of Nevada He became a buckaroo
He learned the ways of cattle He learned to sit a horse
And he always packed a pistol And he practiced deadly force
Then Claude he became a trapper He dreamed of the bygone days
He studied bobcat logic In the wild and silent ways
In the bloody runs near paradise In the monitors down south
Trapping cats and coyotes Living hand and mouth Aye Aye Aye
