My daughter asked me to write a song for her. It's all BIAB. Details to come - it's late (for me now).


The Outlaw's Daughter (L Olivier 1-13-2012)

You got your poor chasing after money
and money chasing after more
but my Mia ain't chasing nothing you can hold

I kept Mia in my Study
and a grave outside my door
reckon it won't wait for me to grow old


Her side arm's at the ready
with everything I taught' er
she can whoop the best at billiards, cards, or dice

She can walk in cool and easy
cause she's an outlaw's daughter
when she's on her game my Mia's cold as ice


Put your braids in your hat Mia
and ride your burro into town
if they look cross at you twice girl
tell 'um shut up and lay your money down


Can you smell that caballero
He's faceless in a crowd
on his pistol vengeance are engraved

He a steady bounty hunter
Ill tell you that right now
gets closer with each mistake I make


Put your braids in your hat Mia
and ride your burro into town
if they look cross at you twice girl
tell 'um shut up and lay your money down

Well they say that Hell is angry
in turmoil you shall wail
Eternal fire to make you scream and shout

but what if Hell be silent
no hammer for your nail
that'd torture me for crying out loud!


Put your braids in your hat Mia
and ride your burro into town
if they look cross at you twice girl
tell 'um shut up and lay your money down


Don't you worry none now
there's nothing more to do
that dirty cowboy followed you home

you must go on doing
the things that I taught you
I've always sent you to town alone


Put your braids in your hat Mia
and ride your burro into town
if they look cross at you twice girl
tell 'um shut up and lay your money down
tell 'um shut up I'm the outlaw now
