Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Countries, that know only springtime And your green fields, with your scentin' of hay Know Ringo, with his angel face And a woman, who was waitin' for his return

Cross the canyons he laughed Down the valley the death And he left behind a river of blood For his life was guided By a crude law He only had a mind to get gold

Rivers, you know how is the story And his laughin' was a pressage of death Ringo had an angel face But whenever Ringo laughed, Ringo fired
