about

Based on a true story told by a soldier stationed in New Mexico shortly after the civil war in 1867. New Mexico became a state in 1912... "and thus the fate of two men had it not been for the perfidy of one woman."

lyrics

At one o'clock a shot rang out by the colonels door.
I rushed out to find the cause and I found her standing there.
The pistol was in his hand her lover on the floor
He had just breathed his last, shot right through the heart.

So stand to your glasses steady
this world is a world of lies.
Here's a health to the dead already
three cheers for the next man that dies.

I remained until the last, he repented before he died.
He little thought he would be the next, we buried them side by side.
Her husband and her lover lay forever there to dwell
caught in the dirt of the earth between heaven and hell.

A few yards marched with muffled drums
Three volleys ore the grave.
