[Verse 1]
Camerado, see that cloud across the sun
There ain't too many places left to run
There was a time when we'd go anywhere the wind would blow
Camerado

[Verse 2]
Camerado, they are fencing off the plains
And I hate to hear the whistle of the train
Next thing you know they'll want your pistol and your tobacco
Camerado

[Bridge]
Got a piece of fourty-four on fire in my chest
Out here on the mesa, I will rest
If you could hand me down that whiskey from my saddle roll
Camerado

[Verse 3]
Now the light is dyin' in the sky
That ain't gonna bother you or I
Seen enough of dying to know almost all there is to know
Camerado

[Verse 4]
Now you had best light out and ride
There's pretty women on the other side
See ya in Sabinas, you'll be free as air in Mexico
Camerado
