Song for an Outlawed Love lyrics

Some say my lover's a sinful man

Some say my lover's a fiend

To me he is the only man

Who's ever been good to me

So I'll ride with him, I'll ride with him

I'll ride with him in the morn

I'll ride with him, ride behind him

I'll ride with him right or wrong

He says: "Bess, one day I'll marry you

And I'll take you to Paris or Rome

And we'll have some babies, one or two

And I'll build you a beautiful home."

He says: "Just this one last job, Bess

The yellow gold will be mine

And then we will be gone in the morn, Bess

To live out the rest of our lives."

So I'll ride with him, I'll ride with him

I'll ride with him in the morn

I'll ride with him, ride behind him

I'll ride with him right or wrong

And I know my father would skin him alive

If he knew his intentions for me

But he can't see the good man inside

And how much he looks after me

Oh, I know he isn't an angel

If there's trouble, he's not far behind

But he has a heart of the purest gold

Rarest I'm ever to find

So I'll ride with him, I'll ride with him

I'll ride with him in the morn

I'll ride with him, ride behind him

I'll ride with him right or wrong

Perhaps I'm just a foolish lass

But God can't help me above

For my wanting heart loves a wanted man

I'll live and die for my outlawed love
