Streets of Dodge [German translation]

Only a saddle for my bed

Heaven as my lodge

Since I lost everything

On the streets of Dodge

On the streets of Dodge

Left old San Antonio back in '68

Headed for Dodge City Kansas

There to meet my babe

There to meet my babe

The reason I was leaving

Was to see my Emmylou

She and a gambler man

Fell in love and made me blue

Fell in love and made me blue

As I rode into Dodge City

On that fateful day

When I stopped at the big saloon

I could hear the people say:

"Son, you made your fate this day"

I went for my 44

I saw the blur of his hand

And I felt that hot lead burn

As he shot me to the sand

Shot me to the sand

With one boot in the stirrup

And burning shame inside

I left old Dodge City

Where I lost my loving bride

Where I lost my loving bride

Only a saddle for my bed

And heaven as my lodge

I lost everything

There on the streets of Dodge

There on the streets of Dodge
