Roadio Rose rides a way with the sun
 setting low in the sky
 The horizon is gold.
 Paint the night snowy white
 and the day winter rose
 The black rider will break silver chains
 Roadio Rose shoots a gun.
 The rainbow follows rain, and the fame
 of her name follows her.
 Paint the night snowy white
 and the day winter rose
 The black rider will break silver chains

 Roadio Rose tells the stranger to go
 to the West with the sun as it sets.

 Paint the night snowy white
 and the day winter rose
 The black rider will break silver chains

 Paint the night snowy white
 and the day winter rose
 The black rider will break silver chains
