The Phantom Stagecoach

And the Phantom stage goes by The Phantom stage As the vulture circle ha He'll hit his the bend and crashes down the trail And his horses scream with pride as it rumbles through the night The Phantom stage that haunts the canyon trail Phantom stage The night stage out of Canyon City, wrecked in 65

The lemon souls were on their coats and not one left alive Old timers used to shiver when they heard the grizzly tale That night they said, all make himself a scene along the trail Was a gal the name of Sue, that the trouble started true And a box of gold and nuggets, so we're tall

She had turned the gambler down and that night was leaving town So he planned to get the woman and the gold And the phantom stage goes by As the vulture circle high Till it hits the bend and crashes down the shade And its horses scream with fright As it rumbles through the night

The phantom stage that haunts the canyon phase He waited on the canyon as the light was growing dim The first shot haves the driver as the coach got to the rim. He lashed his nad and horses but they hadn't far to go.

They slipped and overshot the rim and disappeared below. That's all they searched the ground but the wreck was never found. And when you passed the spot you're not alone. For at midnight on the trail it's the loss will sell the tail as they whisper that the devil took his own.

And the Phantom stage goes by As the vultures circle high Till it hits the bending pressures down the shape And its horses scream with fright as it rumbles through the night The Phantom stage that haunts the canyon trail The Phantom stage that haunts the canyon trail
