Gather round and a story I will tell About the gunslinger Diamond Bell She was the reigning terror of the west Her vision in a scarlet carriage dress With 30 shining diamonds on her barrel Fitted always in a red apparel She reveled more in murder and in gore Than anyone who's worked the job before kansas I never had a running with the law Till I ran and I stumbled and I fell In love with the bandit Diamond Bell Diamond Bell Where are you now? Over the meadow And through the trees For 7 long months we rode the trail Camping out along the union rail Twas all in the merry month of May When we landed a job to kill a judge in Cassoday She spoke as we trampled through the heat She said "the boys from Kansas know I'm hard to beat" Then turning with a grin she says to me "We're going on a Kansas killing spree" Diamond Bell Where are you know? Over the meadow And through the trees Well the courtroom gallery was full When she put a bullet through the judges skull We made a bold dash across the plane And bullets flew around us like the rain In a Dodge city hotel I awoke I was chained by the ankles to a bedpost Surrounded by a dozen volunteers And it took me all my strength to fight the tears Fight the tears Diamond bell Where are you now? Over the meadow And throught the trees Well there's Mexican girls who sing and tell Songs of the bandit Diamond Bell But of me this is all the song I got And the law will avenge the men I shot So farewell, I bid you all adieu And I'm sorrowful for leaving all of you But a lesson to you all I hope to be By the telling of this wretched tragedy Well the sun has gone down in the west The last beams have faded are the crest Come morning I'll be swinging in the sun Like the pitiful prisoner I've become I've become Diamond Bell Where are you now? Over the meadow And through the trees
Don’t think I could get through a day without the felice brothers and Conor oberst 🙏
I'm really impressed to listen to all your songs and each every one of them is absolutely amazingly beautiful!!! Love them all!!!
Amazing song ! I hear Town Van Zandt, most incredible... most underrated group... Plz come in France ! 🙏🏻
I think that The Felice Brothers may have listened to a lot of Bob Dylan. Unreal lyrics & music, I love this band.
A roll,please, for those who forget the future words that match.

Gather round and a story I will tell
About the gunslinger Diamond Bell
She was the reigning terror of the west
Her vision in a scarlet carriage dress
With 30 shining diamonds on her barrel
Fitted always in a red apparel
She reveled more in murder and in gore
Than anyone who's worked the job before
kansas
I never had a running with the law
Till I ran and I stumbled and I fell
In love with the bandit Diamond Bell
Diamond Bell
Where are you now?
Over the meadow
And through the trees
For 7 long months we rode the trail
Camping out along the union rail
Twas all in the merry month of May
When we landed a job to kill a judge in Cassoday
She spoke as we trampled through the heat
She said "the boys from Kansas know I'm hard to beat"
Then turning with a grin she says to me
"We're going on a Kansas killing spree"
Diamond Bell
Where are you know?
Over the meadow
And through the trees
Well the courtroom gallery was full
When she put a bullet through the judges skull
We made a bold dash across the plane
And bullets flew around us like the rain
In a Dodge city hotel I awoke
I was chained by the ankles to a bedpost
Surrounded by a dozen volunteers
And it took me all my strength to fight the tears
Fight the tears
Diamond bell
Where are you now?
Over the meadow
And throught the trees
Well there's Mexican girls who sing and tell
Songs of the bandit Diamond Bell
But of me this is all the song I got
And the law will avenge the men I shot
So farewell, I bid you all adieu
And I'm sorrowful for leaving all of you
But a lesson to you all I hope to be
By the telling of this wretched tragedy
Well the sun has gone down in the west
The last beams have faded are the crest
Come morning I'll be swinging in the sun
Like the pitiful prisoner I've become
I've become
Diamond Bell
Where are you now?
Over the meadow
And through the trees
lyric? Please? Bless!
Save that man from that poor black and white life."
