When I was but a young man

A youth within my teens

But full of challenge and desire

I ran away from home

And left my mother and my dad

I know it grieved them

So to think their only boy was bad

I fell in with an outlaw band

Their names were known quite well

How many times we robbed

And plundered I could never tell

This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall

I learned that much and more the night

I heard my master call

One night we rustled cattle

A thousand head or so

And started them out on the trail

And lightnin' flashed about

Struck not twenty yards from me

And left there was a giant cross

My pony ran but stumbled

And it threw me to the ground

Showed the face of Jesus Christ

And the others rushed on by me
