@Robban.D.Jonsson. I know. On every show and video I've seen about Rolling, there is this REALLY creepy song in the background. What it must have been like to BE Rolling. No empathy. No conscience. No hope for anything in his life. At the scene of some of his robberies, he would say stuff like " Sorry yall, I know, it sucks". But he wasn't sorry for anything.
I heard this on EWU and didn't think I would find the entire song but here it is!! Is it crazy that I like this song so damn much? It's disgusting what he did but damn he had an awesome voice. It's too bad he chose a different route in life and could've probably been successful singing.
Exacty same thing for me didnt think id find tne full song but i did… hears the 15 second clip on EWU and was like holyshit i hate to admit but what a good song.
Lyrics Jingling spurs rolling into town. Old black stallion bearing a grim reaper. Dressed in snake hide, worn black leather Chorus: Mystery rider what’s your name? You're a killer, a drifter gone insane Mystery rider what’s your game? You're a rebel no one else can tame. Welcome stranger to the Silver Dollar bar what's your pleasure asked the tender with a big cigar You give me a whiskey cause I'm feeling a little risky if that tin star's in town well you tell him I'm around Chorus Out on the windy lonely lonely street Slinging forty fours well they finally finally meet There stands lightning the two men well to draw The outlaw he was the last thing he ever saw Chorus
Also I saw in a documentary that instead of ‘what’s your game’ it said ‘what’s your gain’. Not sure if it’s true though. It does makes sense though. Like what’s to gain for being a killer
Espuelas tintineantes rodando hacia la ciudad. Viejo semental negro que lleva un ángel de la muerte. Vestido con piel de serpiente, cuero negro desgastado jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu nombre? eres un asesino, Un vagabundo enloquecido jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu juego? eres un rebelde Nadie más puede domar. bienvenido extraño a la barra de dólar de plata cual es tu placer preguntó el tendero con un cigarro grande me das un whisky porque me siento un poco arriesgado si esa estrella de hojalata está en la ciudad Bueno, dile que estoy cerca. jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu nombre? eres un asesino, Un vagabundo enloquecido jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu juego? eres un rebelde Nadie más puede domar.
Its so rare that you find an an individual, especially a serial killer with such self awareness... This song stands out, if he hadn't had such a fucked up life he could have been a talented songwriter
@devious187, self awareness & awareness in general are pretty damn painful, arguably more a curse than a "gift" Ever hear of the (Ancient Greek) story of Cassandra? As i recall, some vengeful goddess got pissed at Cassandra (probly b/c some God was attracted to Cassandra which enraged her) & cursed her. The curse? To have the "gift" of foresight, prophecy. Specifically, the ability to forsee terrible fates that had not yet come to pass, disasters on the horizon. The real "bite" of the curse? Perhaps she could forsee pending doom, but be incapable of warning the doomed to help them save themselves? No, it was worse than that. Cassandra had total freedom to warn the doomed of their impending doom. The real curse of the curse was that they'd never take seriously her warnings & whatever doom was foreseen came to pass. Terminator 2 kind of ripped off this story, w/Sarah Connor knowing nuclear war was about to break out & even warning a few select ppl of the impending doom only to have her warnings rejected by the ppl she tried to save. For her efforts, they deemed her insane (ole Johnny Boy Connor called her "a total loser"). They did their part to put & keep her in an asylum for the insane. So called "humanity," hominids have a long storied tradition of openly persecuting & destroying geniuses &/or truth tellers. Leonardo DaVinci famously wrote some of his most important works in "mirror script" for fear of being branded a "heretic" & burned at the stake (or worse). Anyway, as for this song & what you wrote; maybe Rolling could only be a great singer-songwriter b/c of his fucked fate rather than despite it? Idk. We live in a time where suffering & what might be termed "freakery" is literally worshipped & portrayed very favorably. But, there might sometimes be some real truth that misfortune or terrible "fate" may come w/silver lining's
I just want to point out not only did he sing and compose songs, but also paint. He painted a lot of drawings during his imprisonment. If you are interested in Danny's artwork, you may know it, but I wanted to say it just in case you didn't know it. His drawings are interesting to see. I'd describe Danny's art as unique and hauntingly beautiful. Danny's drawings are, by far, the eeriest drawings I've ever seen, but they're still rather captivating.
This is genuinely one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Wish he'd been less of a c-unt and put his efforts into making a name for himself within the realms of music. He could have achieved fame, instead of infamy.
Fate.... His fate was set. I love his voice, I love him. I'm getting one of his drawings tatted on my shoulder on my back under it will say Mystery Rider. He an Ted Bundy are my favorites, Richard Ramirez #3 ppl like to say what they did was awful I don't disagree but if you believe in fate those victims would have died whether they were killed by these men or not. My opinion. 💋
@@andeholcomb3583 I like danny, I think he could have been an excellent man but the abuse made him a monster...I want to tattoo one of his draws, they're really cool
should have made music instead of killing people :( LYRICS INCLUDING LAST VERSE, how i understand / hear it... (apologies, no native english speaker, thank you! to the friend helping me): Jingling spurs rolling into town. "Oh black stallion you bring a grim reaper. Dressed in snake hide, worn black leather." Mystery rider, What's your name? You're a killer, A drifter gone insane Mystery rider, What's your game? You're a rebel No one can tame. "Welcome stranger to the Silver Dollar bar." "What's your pleasure" asked the tender with a big cigar. "You give me a whiskey cause I'm feeling a little risky." "If that tin star's in town well you tell him I'm around." Mystery rider, What's your name? You're a killer, A drifter gone insane Mystery rider, What's your game? You're a rebel No one can tame. Out on a windy lonely lonely street Two slinging forty fours: "We-hell, we finally finally meet!" Fast as lighting the two men were on the draw. The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw. Mystery rider, What's your name? You're a killer, A drifter gone insane. Mystery rider, What's your game? You're a rebel No one can tame. You're a rebel No one can tame.
Out on a windy, lonely, lonely street Two slinging quick words, “Well, we finally, finally meet.” Fast as lightning the two men, well they draw. The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw. That’s what I get, so almost a carbon copy of what you hear. Good job!
@Michael P yeah. Hes the gainsville ripper. Pretty prolific serial killer from a few decades back. Shame he took to stabbing college kids rather than writing more bangers.
@Michael P The investigators found his cassette recorder and this tape at his campsite in the woods, when they followed his trail after a failed robbery. Danny had abandoned the site. He recorded this song prior to or between the killings.
I love this song. The lyrics the tune everything. Shame he couldn't record it I a studio. But then again it probably wouldn't sound as good. Hi im just with olly ill call you back when im home xx knowing he sat in that tent taping himself singing. It would lose the rawness of it and that's what makes it so good x
Yeah I completely agree. Only if he got a little support from his close ones I think he would be a famous local singer. He didn't have a lot of support. According to police report his relationship with his father was not the best and he used Music, Drugs and Alcohol to deal with abuse. He also shot his father but his father survived. Clinical Psychologist concluded that his childhood abuse played a key role in this character development.
i almost feel like he is trying to describe his inner evil..like in dexter "the dark passenger" his mystery rider rolling in town "his mind" taking over..."Fast as lighting the two men were on the draw. The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw. "
his voice is haunting even if you don’t know what he did. but knowing the horrors he caused and the juxtaposition of that and his soothing voice.. that just amplifies the chills by a thousand. it’s proof of how complex human beings are - the same person can be capable of creating both beauty and total destruction. like others have said, it’s too damn bad that he chose to do the disgusting things he did. because of him, eight innocent people got their lives ripped away from them. and no artistic talent can make up for the senseless violence he inflicted.
You can like dudes music without liking what he did as far as his killings go. Lotz of very very talented people do some hugely gross shit and there can be that separation. Charles Manson is a great example. Very intelligent and very talented with music and I would argue his Philosophy was sound in some parts. But he had a side of him that wasn't good, he did alot of good. He was really behind climate change and spent alot of time talking about our climate and what we are doing to nature just by living modern lives and I think lots can be learned by listening to that side of him.
@@kunalmore5212 - both qualities can be present at the same time. it’s a relaxing voice when taken as-is, but it also sticks with you. and knowing the horrific things he did, it becomes even more paradoxical and eerie that way. like it’s a soothing tone, but you know it shouldn’t be.
You know, I just had an eerie thought wondering if he ever sang while killing his victims. It’s chilling to think that the same person with such talented vocals in this song may have said to those victims while he was killing them. And heartbreaking that his voice was likely the last thing they ever heard on this earth.
Full lyrics. Jingling spurs rolling into town. Ooo black stallion bringing a grim reaper. Ooo dressed in snake hide, worn black leather. Mystery rider what’s your name? You’re a killer, a drifter gone insane. Mystery rider what’s your game? You’re a rebel, no one can tame. Welcome stranger, to the silver dollar bar. Ooo what’s your pleasure? Asked the tender with a big cigar. You give me a whiskey, Cause I’m a feeling a little risky. If that tin star’s in town, Well you tell him I’m around. Mystery rider what’s your name? You’re killer, a drifter gone insane. Mystery rider what’s your game? You’re a rebel, no one can tame. Out on the windy, lonely lonely street. Two slinging quick words: we-hell, finally finally meet. Fast as lightning the two men were on a draw. The outlaw he was the last he ever saw. Mystery rider what’s your name? You’re a killer, a drifter gone insane. Mystery rider what’s your game? You’re a rebel, no one can tame. You’re a rebel, no one can tame.
I've studied serial killers for decades..and Rolling is the only one I ever openly and happily harmonized with...! Damn that incredible song of his, he really was diabolical...
I really like this song and listen to this often, unfortunately? This song really could have been a hit, this is just so good. He sings from the bottom of his black heart.
I've replayed this song repeatedly and each time I read all the comments saying that if he were to choose a different path he would be such a good singer/songwriter. Yet I can't but feel that if he hadn't done THOSE things, his songs wouldn't strike me this much. Truly he can't be tamed, he proved himself. Any other songs that cried rebellion don't have the proof he provided. It's so fvcked up that we appreciate artworks that so defy our beliefs. If only he were a fictional character, then I could have peace with myself, yet that just about makes him not Danny Rolling.
Honestly I feel like this is it. The emotion, the soul in this song was created by the devil created within himself while committing those heinous acts. This track is beautiful and so so dark, punctuated by the distortion of the poor recording. It puts you at that campfire with him. It puts you into his mind. Id wager belting this out was sheer ecstasy.
I beg to differ. There are many rebellion songs where the artist never committed mass homicide. And even if he had the need to kill, its not like this guy went the Dexter route in removing evil people from society. He targeted innocent college students. He's an evil person through and through who just happened to have a singing talent. I've heard much more evil lyrics from other artists who never murdered anyone.
Fascinating? Really? Thats the word choice you use? Gross man. Ppl like you make me sick dude. Do you not know what this man did to his victims? You probably one of those girls that sends love letters to serial killers...
@@ShinobiDrip999 why can't he use fascinating? Fascinating doesn't have to mean something good. He's an extremely fascinating person to look at for how insane he was yet seems normal when listening to this
"Voice of an Angel" and "extremely talented musician", really?? Well you being a music critic is definitely off the table. Man sounds like absolute crap with zero talent. His nails on chalkboard crooning is enough to make anyone as crazy as he was.
Thing is I practice this sound a lot. I found this song thru another video took me forever to find it. R.I.P to the lives he stole only he can pay the toll he knows. Guy shouldn’t have fuckin let himself go a couple of years in the gutter and he could have written this ten times over. Im assuming he liked inspiration
Dude could sing and write..... I remember the first time I heard this song and it was only like a 15 second snippet and I was instantly obsessed and fascinated.
There was also audio on the recording of him talking to his father about how he'd wished he made his father proud and sorry he had let him down then said " I gotta sign off now...... I got something I gotta go do". Chilling to think of him sitting around a campfire alone singing this song before he went out and did what he did. I get that chorus stuck in my head for days at a time.
I wish we could get a real cover for this song. People seem afraid to simply enjoy it as art, for fear that it somehow supports this criminal madman. But art should never be censored, even when it’s made by a killer. Most music is made by despicable people, but we seem to be okay with them because they’re the despicable people we grew up with. It is possible to separate art from the artist. This is a good song and it doesn’t deserve to be lost to time just because it’s creator is a deplorable person.
I can totally hear it! I could not think of what the hell it reminded me of but that's it! The verses have the same kind of somber vibe and cadence to them! My first time hearing this! Hauntingly beautiful! Fun fact.... my father in law and his brother bailed Danny out of jail once before in Shreveport.
this insane man could've been a music legend. What a shame. It is what it is, this bastard made some good music, and the sad part is that he recorded this song in the bushes right before he killed again.
That's what's so chilling about it. Cuz right after this he says something like "well, I'm gonna sign off for a little bit, i got something I gotta do"
@@illmsg77 it's a wild west style themed ballad genius.. what part of it presumes he's attempting to be deep or insightful. Dumb it down for me Einstein. Lol you pseudo intellectual scumbags get worse every generation.
I heard a very small snippet of this song in That Chapters episode on Danny Rollings and it gave me chills. Not because it’s a good song (which lets be honest, it’s not half bad)…but because I picture that creepy man in a tent alone in the Florida backwoods recording this song before he leaves to go brutally take 5 innocent lives. To sum this up…ITS CREEPY AS FUCKING FUCK.
I thought the EXACT SAME THING! Especially when he says the outlaws face is the last thing you ever see, it gives me chills. He has a great voice if he'd just went a different way...
@@dogwithsombrero6498 I know that. We did a 2.5 hour deep dive on him on the podcast, as well as 30 minutes on Sondra London and him on our Prison Tinder episode.
Came from EWU's video. The chills I've got as I listen, but the lyrical mastery is astounding. This would have been a very successful song if recorded in a proper studio, had he chosen that path in life. But now, knowing the truth behind the lyrics, it's just infamous.
The reason why the songs sounds good is because he is using the rythm and chord progression from the House of the Rising Sun, he even sings in the similar bluesy style. He's copying.
By the Gods, just imagine how the lives of so many people, his included, could have been different if he just would have stuck to making music. This song is unbelievably good (not only because of the music itself and the lyrics but maybe also because of the depth caused by his actions?).
how the lives of so many people could have been different if his dad wasn't an abusive sack of shit. supposedly the guy beat danny's dog and it died in his arms. if he'd had a better father who knows how he would have turned out
« You’re a killer, drifter gone insane » It’s a self description, I think he was aware of how he was going through and we know that it completely was the case.
yeah this song is badass dude. this guy had talent... just dealt the wrong cards maybe? idk im just starting to look into this case.... im so surprised I have just come across it because im a true crime buff
@@erikguidry4756 I just watched 2020 episode called “the devil in Gainesville” you should check it out if you haven’t already . It’s one of the craziest ones I’ve ever seen.
I see u just posted a few days ago. Sad to say this is on one of my playlists on TH-cam. I dont like what he did but his songs and voice was kinda great js.
This is so creepy. Knowing he had actually killed people. When he says "you're a killer" I can just sense what was going through his head replaying the murders in his head. It makes me uncomfortable and intrigued at the same time. It's like I don't like the song but I do. It's so fucked up. It makes me feel angry at myself for feeling so indifferent about this
For awhile I thought I was sick in my head for liking his songs and found myself enjoying it. But reading some comments who thought the same makes me feel better. I agree he did unimaginable things but I have a feeling the abuse his father inflicted was a huge impact on why this man turned out this way. Its too bad he didn't choose a different path.
i thought this guy was a huge piece of shit until i read about his father. i cried for a good half hour after reading about his dad beating his dog so bad that it died in his arms. his dad was a gigantic piece of shit and doubtlessly had a direct hand in the monster he would become. fuck james rolling.
I watched a few people trying to cover this and I believe a lot of people are interpreting the chords the wrong way the original sounds complete different. For me the best part is when the melody changes to almost power cord like sound but a lot of people are leaving this out
He´s sadly a drifter gone insane, and became addicted to worse and more horrific stuff. I like his music, and we dont have to be sorry for that. The sins are bad, but not the person.
Maybe. Maybe that’s what makes his song and his voice so amazing. His whole soul is in this song. All his feeling and being. You can literally feel it. It’s palpable !
He already WAS a killer when he recorded this. He recorded this right before he went to Gainesville. He had already killed 3 people in Louisiana at this point.
he was a fairly average guy in terms of looks and he had singing talent but he definitely is not one of the greatest. I think a lot of people elevate him due to his crimes like they do with Dahmer.
Thank you for the upload! How do you find these? Apparently there are 11 songs so far I've listened to 9 of them. Is it possible for you to find the other 2? Thanks again. -Cody
I got it from the channel "Horror Stash" on youtube. They've got many more songs as well. I have no idea where they got them from, but these are from the trial evidence. Pretty sweet stuff. Glad you enjoyed!
Imagine long fingers picking on strings by the fire. The darkness of the forest closing in. Singing his eerie dirge covered in blood by the moonlight. Surrounded by the bones and organs of young girls. Calling out to the night in his own twisted witches sabbath.
Has anyone done a decent cover of this? The most haunting part of this is (if I am correct) he recorded this after robbing a bank in the days following the killing spree.
according to EWU one of their channels one of their videos, I think it's name EWU story, this is one of a serial killer songs he wrote it and he sang it and he played it, disturbing 😱
People saying he’s a sick human being but he has talent 💯 what’s the difference between our rappers we listen to they kill people and talk about it same thing.
well, rappers usually talk about gang violence, which is bad, but this person is a bit different. He didn't shoot rival gang members, he killed 8 people and raped several of the victims, brutally mutilating their bodies. Both are killing, but I think that's a bit worse than gang violence, also, I predict a large percentage of rappers are just talking shit and haven't actually killed anyone, whilst this man was proven guilty. The song is catchy, that's why I am here, but I don't think being a good singer makes it right by any means. if you are interested more about the topic here is an interesting documentary. th-cam.com/video/q2HX52GzMVg/w-d-xo.html
@@Ken_Frazer-619 Could be, but I interpreted it as him squaring off with a cop in a new town. He could have been picturing his father, but he refers to himself as a drifter rolling into town as a stranger. That wouldn't be his father.
This absolute sick bastard could have been a great folk indie artist too bad he chose a deviants path have to admit this is a hauntingly dark yet beautiful song the guy had talent!
Holy crap this song is beautiful. I can’t even wrap my head around it. How can anyone write something so beautifully melodic and then destroy beauty and life?
Maybe he was the kind of guy who needed a strong emotional connection but believed everyone was superficial and self centred and therefore their life was not important
People do that daily in their thoughts, ripping people apart, thinking sick and disgusting things with their mind. So no difference between people who act on these thoughts versus the people who internalise it.
i have tried hard to hear what he's singing..sadly english isnt my native language and i can nothing but try to figure it out..here what i am hearing / guessing: Out on a windy lonely lonely street Two slinging quick words: "we-hell we finally finally meet" fast as lighting the two men were on the draw the outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw ... idk.. i wish someone could help us there with better hearing / mother tongue skills :P @BoNielsen
Bo Nielsen Out on a windy, lonely, lonely street Two slinging quick words, “Well, we finally, finally meet.” Fast as lightning the two men, well they draw. The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw. I got almost exactly what CynicMoses got.
Danny i still see your spirith and we bring u traviling as the mistery rider,..the warm breath off the black stalion we see u drifting over big empty fields as i keep ur song alive..
Is there any proof He actually wrote these songs he's singing? Cuz this sounds like one a them old mountain ballads or wild west ballads that get passed down for generations.
Such a D Bag! This chorus haunted me since it aired on his Unsolved Mysteries episode. Only saw it the once. Thank you LPOTL for stopping the cycle of hearing an unanswered question
Its actually legit. I'll give credit where and whenever it's rightfully due, regardless of who its going to. It's haunting and possessed a very Terry Reid esq, "to be treated right", melancholy inflection and tone to it. I wouldn't be surprised one bit, if he was influenced by Terry Reid. It's just got his own special touch with a little southern spin on it. I like it. Should have pursued this instead of becoming the poster boy for 90s horror flicks and ending up in a prison paupers grave.
These are the actual lyrics: Jinglin' spurs rolling into town. Oh black stallion you bring a grim reaper. Dressed in snake hide, worn black leather. Mystery rider, What's your name? You're a killer, A drifter gone insane Mystery rider, What's your game? You're a rebel No one can tame. Welcome stranger to the Silver Dollar bar. What's your pleasure? asked the tender with a big cigar. A 'get me a whiskey cause I'm a' feelin' a little risky. If that tin star's in town well you tell him I'm around. Mystery rider, What's your name? You're a killer, A drifter gone insane Mystery rider, What's your game? You're a rebel No one can tame. Out on the windy, lonely lonely street. Slingin' 44's, well, we finally, finally meet. Fast as lightning, the two men, well, they draw. The outlaw he was the last thing he ever saw. Fucking brilliant song if I ever heard one. Serial killer or not, this guy had the chops.

Lyrics
Jingling spurs rolling into town.
Old black stallion bearing a grim reaper.
Dressed in snake hide, worn black leather
Chorus:
Mystery rider what’s your name?
You're a killer, a drifter gone insane
Mystery rider what’s your game?
You're a rebel no one else can tame.
Welcome stranger
to the Silver Dollar bar
what's your pleasure
asked the tender with a big cigar
You give me a whiskey
cause I'm feeling a little risky
if that tin star's in town
well you tell him I'm around
Chorus
Out on the windy lonely lonely street
Slinging forty fours well they finally finally meet
There stands lightning the two men well to draw
The outlaw he was the last thing he ever saw
Chorus
He sings: old black stallion *you bring a grim reaper.
Not bearing
Thanks
old black stallion you bring a grin to the reaper
Also I saw in a documentary that instead of ‘what’s your game’ it said ‘what’s your gain’. Not sure if it’s true though. It does makes sense though. Like what’s to gain for being a killer
Espuelas tintineantes rodando hacia la ciudad. Viejo semental negro que lleva un ángel de la muerte. Vestido con piel de serpiente, cuero negro desgastado jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu nombre? eres un asesino, Un vagabundo enloquecido jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu juego? eres un rebelde Nadie más puede domar. bienvenido extraño a la barra de dólar de plata cual es tu placer preguntó el tendero con un cigarro grande me das un whisky porque me siento un poco arriesgado si esa estrella de hojalata está en la ciudad Bueno, dile que estoy cerca. jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu nombre? eres un asesino, Un vagabundo enloquecido jinete misterioso, ¿Cuál es tu juego? eres un rebelde Nadie más puede domar.
This song could easily have been a hit with some studio engineering. What an eerie, yet powerful mesage.
Couldah done the Manson/Rollins RipitUp tour!!!

Someone famous should do it
Its so rare that you find an an individual, especially a serial killer with such self awareness... This song stands out, if he hadn't had such a fucked up life he could have been a talented songwriter
Oui a la hauteur d Elvis Presley
Je trouve le talent est identique 😊
@devious187, self awareness & awareness in general are pretty damn painful, arguably more a curse than a "gift"
Ever hear of the (Ancient Greek) story of Cassandra?
As i recall, some vengeful goddess got pissed at Cassandra (probly b/c some God was attracted to Cassandra which enraged her) & cursed her.
The curse?
To have the "gift" of foresight, prophecy. Specifically, the ability to forsee terrible fates that had not yet come to pass, disasters on the horizon.
The real "bite" of the curse?
Perhaps she could forsee pending doom, but be incapable of warning the doomed to help them save themselves?
No, it was worse than that.
Cassandra had total freedom to warn the doomed of their impending doom.
The real curse of the curse was that they'd never take seriously her warnings & whatever doom was foreseen came to pass.
Terminator 2 kind of ripped off this story, w/Sarah Connor knowing nuclear war was about to break out & even warning a few select ppl of the impending doom only to have her warnings rejected by the ppl she tried to save. For her efforts, they deemed her insane (ole Johnny Boy Connor called her "a total loser"). They did their part to put & keep her in an asylum for the insane.
So called "humanity," hominids have a long storied tradition of openly persecuting & destroying geniuses &/or truth tellers.
Leonardo DaVinci famously wrote some of his most important works in "mirror script" for fear of being branded a "heretic" & burned at the stake (or worse).
Anyway, as for this song & what you wrote; maybe Rolling could only be a great singer-songwriter b/c of his fucked fate rather than despite it?
Idk. We live in a time where suffering & what might be termed "freakery" is literally worshipped & portrayed very favorably. But, there might sometimes be some real truth that misfortune or terrible "fate" may come w/silver lining's
Oh black stallion, you bring a grim peeper
this song has the most emotion you can feel everything the guitar strings on your finger tips the feeling of sitting down in the Forest alone
Everyone lost he lost to his demons and the victims and family’s lost to him…shame man he had potential with a voice like this
Check it....this was painted by HITLER!!!!!
Imagine me waving my limp meat in your face. I always got limp meat.
I just want to point out not only did he sing and compose songs, but also paint. He painted a lot of drawings during his imprisonment. If you are interested in Danny's artwork, you may know it, but I wanted to say it just in case you didn't know it. His drawings are interesting to see. I'd describe Danny's art as unique and hauntingly beautiful. Danny's drawings are, by far, the eeriest drawings I've ever seen, but they're still rather captivating.
This is genuinely one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Wish he'd been less of a c-unt and put his efforts into making a name for himself within the realms of music. He could have achieved fame, instead of infamy.
Fate.... His fate was set. I love his voice, I love him. I'm getting one of his drawings tatted on my shoulder on my back under it will say Mystery Rider. He an Ted Bundy are my favorites, Richard Ramirez #3 ppl like to say what they did was awful I don't disagree but if you believe in fate those victims would have died whether they were killed by these men or not. My opinion. 💋
@@andeholcomb3583 F-ing hell!
@@andeholcomb3583 I like danny, I think he could have been an excellent man but the abuse made him a monster...I want to tattoo one of his draws, they're really cool

I listen to this song a lot it's so melancholy, with a lil sadness
should have made music instead of killing people :(
LYRICS INCLUDING LAST VERSE, how i understand / hear it... (apologies, no native english speaker, thank you! to the friend helping me):
Jingling spurs rolling into town.
"Oh black stallion you bring a grim reaper.
Dressed in snake hide, worn black leather."
Mystery rider, What's your name?
You're a killer, A drifter gone insane
Mystery rider, What's your game?
You're a rebel No one can tame.
"Welcome stranger to the Silver Dollar bar."
"What's your pleasure" asked the tender with a big cigar.
"You give me a whiskey cause I'm feeling a little risky."
"If that tin star's in town well you tell him I'm around."
Mystery rider, What's your name?
You're a killer, A drifter gone insane
Mystery rider, What's your game?
You're a rebel No one can tame.
Out on a windy lonely lonely street
Two slinging forty fours: "We-hell, we finally finally meet!"
Fast as lighting the two men were on the draw.
The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw.

Two slinging quick words,
“Well, we finally, finally meet.”
Fast as lightning the two men, well they draw.
The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw.
That’s what I get, so almost a carbon copy of what you hear. Good job!
But sadly, he just never had the opportunity
I actually think it is
Two slinging .44s "We-hell, we finally finally meet!"
As in slinging .44 caliber guns.
@@thrasymachus6212 exactly. Ur definitely right about that. I hear it clearly too.
I’m with y’all. I hear 44s also.
Beautiful song, dark but beautiful...shame he didn’t take a different path
I wonder if he sung it to the head on the bookshelf?
@@frankystarrz😂😂
After he play this song camping in the middle of nowhere, he goes out and starts the killing spree.
The most cowardly thing he could possibly do
@Michael P yeah. Hes the gainsville ripper. Pretty prolific serial killer from a few decades back. Shame he took to stabbing college kids rather than writing more bangers.
@Michael P yes . Search for “devil in Gainesville” 2020
@Michael P
The investigators found his cassette recorder and this tape at his campsite in the woods, when they followed his trail after a failed robbery. Danny had abandoned the site. He recorded this song prior to or between the killings.
@Michael P yes it is
This is unironically one of the best songs I've ever heard.
I feel ya I can't stop listening to Danny rolling
Apparently you need to listen to a lot more (better) music.
I love this song. The lyrics the tune everything. Shame he couldn't record it I a studio. But then again it probably wouldn't sound as good. Hi im just with olly ill call you back when im home xx knowing he sat in that tent taping himself singing. It would lose the rawness of it and that's what makes it so good x
Yeah I completely agree. Only if he got a little support from his close ones I think he would be a famous local singer. He didn't have a lot of support. According to police report his relationship with his father was not the best and he used Music, Drugs and Alcohol to deal with abuse. He also shot his father but his father survived. Clinical Psychologist concluded that his childhood abuse played a key role in this character development.
@@ExpertAdviceTV imagine critiquing others subjective tastes. You're an absolute tool.
i almost feel like he is trying to describe his inner evil..like in dexter "the dark passenger" his mystery rider rolling in town "his mind" taking over..."Fast as lighting the two men were on the draw.
The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw. "
His last name is Rolling. That was a play on words.
@@606Ghoul haha i didn';t even notice till now
Song is definitely about himself!
He's on a power trip in the song
his voice is haunting even if you don’t know what he did. but knowing the horrors he caused and the juxtaposition of that and his soothing voice.. that just amplifies the chills by a thousand. it’s proof of how complex human beings are - the same person can be capable of creating both beauty and total destruction.
like others have said, it’s too damn bad that he chose to do the disgusting things he did. because of him, eight innocent people got their lives ripped away from them. and no artistic talent can make up for the senseless violence he inflicted.
You make up your mind is his voice soothing or haunting ?
@@kunalmore5212 😂😂😂
You can like dudes music without liking what he did as far as his killings go. Lotz of very very talented people do some hugely gross shit and there can be that separation. Charles Manson is a great example. Very intelligent and very talented with music and I would argue his Philosophy was sound in some parts. But he had a side of him that wasn't good, he did alot of good. He was really behind climate change and spent alot of time talking about our climate and what we are doing to nature just by living modern lives and I think lots can be learned by listening to that side of him.
@@kunalmore5212 - both qualities can be present at the same time. it’s a relaxing voice when taken as-is, but it also sticks with you. and knowing the horrific things he did, it becomes even more paradoxical and eerie that way. like it’s a soothing tone, but you know it shouldn’t be.
You know, I just had an eerie thought wondering if he ever sang while killing his victims. It’s chilling to think that the same person with such talented vocals in this song may have said to those victims while he was killing them. And heartbreaking that his voice was likely the last thing they ever heard on this earth.
Full lyrics.
Jingling spurs rolling into town.

Yes thank you for that. I didnt pay attention that I did a few typos on this😔
Thanks
I can’t get over this song.
Me either, what do we do?
Me either!!!
I've studied serial killers for decades..and Rolling is the only one I ever openly and happily harmonized with...! Damn that incredible song of his, he really was diabolical...
Sick individual but his songs are very good.
@Weird Files I know. One could have hoped and wished they devoted their lives to music and not murder. But they made their choice...
W
I agree.
Great art comes from chaos
Like Michael Jackson
I really like this song and listen to this often, unfortunately? This song really could have been a hit, this is just so good. He sings from the bottom of his black heart.
I've replayed this song repeatedly and each time I read all the comments saying that if he were to choose a different path he would be such a good singer/songwriter. Yet I can't but feel that if he hadn't done THOSE things, his songs wouldn't strike me this much. Truly he can't be tamed, he proved himself. Any other songs that cried rebellion don't have the proof he provided. It's so fvcked up that we appreciate artworks that so defy our beliefs. If only he were a fictional character, then I could have peace with myself, yet that just about makes him not Danny Rolling.
Honestly I feel like this is it. The emotion, the soul in this song was created by the devil created within himself while committing those heinous acts. This track is beautiful and so so dark, punctuated by the distortion of the poor recording. It puts you at that campfire with him. It puts you into his mind. Id wager belting this out was sheer ecstasy.
I beg to differ. There are many rebellion songs where the artist never committed mass homicide. And even if he had the need to kill, its not like this guy went the Dexter route in removing evil people from society. He targeted innocent college students. He's an evil person through and through who just happened to have a singing talent. I've heard much more evil lyrics from other artists who never murdered anyone.
Fascinating man. Extremely talented musician. A monster with the voice of an angel.
Fascinating? Really? Thats the word choice you use? Gross man. Ppl like you make me sick dude. Do you not know what this man did to his victims? You probably one of those girls that sends love letters to serial killers...
@@ShinobiDrip999 why can't he use fascinating? Fascinating doesn't have to mean something good. He's an extremely fascinating person to look at for how insane he was yet seems normal when listening to this
Song gives me chills
@@signeCS how the vocab is used it sounds like they're romanticizing the man 100%
"Voice of an Angel" and "extremely talented musician", really?? Well you being a music critic is definitely off the table. Man sounds like absolute crap with zero talent. His nails on chalkboard crooning is enough to make anyone as crazy as he was.
Can you imagine if this guy didn’t do what he did and instead turned to music. He would be at the top of folk
But would it be this amazing if he didn't have such darkness within?
@@Robban.D.Jonsson. if he harnessed the darkness in a different way though
@@toddungary8541 I don't think that amount of darkness can be contained or directed. It's just pitch black.
@@Robban.D.Jonsson. I agree unfortunately
The dude is a better artist when it comes to music than 99% of what’s called country today.
He's damn good, gotta admit
Thing is I practice this sound a lot. I found this song thru another video took me forever to find it. R.I.P to the lives he stole only he can pay the toll he knows. Guy shouldn’t have fuckin let himself go a couple of years in the gutter and he could have written this ten times over. Im assuming he liked inspiration
True
He sounds like a folk singer, but it's still good, nonetheless...
@@asill.6668 Yeah, it's Folk, which is different from Country.
Beautiful voice and I really like his song
I heard a clip of this in prison on FBI Files and I'm so glad to hear the full version it's definitely one of my favorite songs now
why did they show you this in prison?
@@whitedom2041 he is lying bro

@@shredz_2032 u realize their is tv in prison

feel weird that i really like this
You’re not alone. Believe me.
Why do you feel weird about it? ffs it's music, enjoy the song, doesn't mean you automatically agree with the shit he did
Splitting art from the artist; this is a really emotional and nice song.
*A VOICE BEYOND THIS WORLD. SO BEAUTIFUL*
Dude could sing and write..... I remember the first time I heard this song and it was only like a 15 second snippet and I was instantly obsessed and fascinated.
Same here
There was also audio on the recording of him talking to his father about how he'd wished he made his father proud and sorry he had let him down then said " I gotta sign off now...... I got something I gotta go do". Chilling to think of him sitting around a campfire alone singing this song before he went out and did what he did. I get that chorus stuck in my head for days at a time.
Danny wrote his own anime theme song!
I wish we could get a real cover for this song. People seem afraid to simply enjoy it as art, for fear that it somehow supports this criminal madman. But art should never be censored, even when it’s made by a killer. Most music is made by despicable people, but we seem to be okay with them because they’re the despicable people we grew up with. It is possible to separate art from the artist. This is a good song and it doesn’t deserve to be lost to time just because it’s creator is a deplorable person.
Well put, I agree.
Agreed
There is a guy on TH-cam that does it beautifully
@@andeholcomb3583 who?
Let me find him he does leave out the last verse tho
He has such a haunting voice I feel like I’m being hypnotized 😵💫
I feel same! 😵💫🥴 This song has its own atmosphere. Haunting...
Getting big time “House of the Rising Sun” vibes with this.
I can't stop listening to it...so good.
Not really.
He basically ripped off songs he listened to and added his "twist"
Yeah, not really
I can totally hear it! I could not think of what the hell it reminded me of but that's it! The verses have the same kind of somber vibe and cadence to them! My first time hearing this! Hauntingly beautiful! Fun fact.... my father in law and his brother bailed Danny out of jail once before in Shreveport.
There's feeling a little risky and then there's being a serial killer
this insane man could've been a music legend. What a shame. It is what it is, this bastard made some good music, and the sad part is that he recorded this song in the bushes right before he killed again.
That's what's so chilling about it. Cuz right after this he says something like "well, I'm gonna sign off for a little bit, i got something I gotta do"
Music legend!?! You need to listen to more kinds of music or find more variety in what you like cuz this is mediocre/amateur AT BEST. sheesh
@@illmsg77 Art is subjective. What your the judge of what "other people" like? I don't understand that kind of thinking 🤔
@@illmsg77 it's a wild west style themed ballad genius.. what part of it presumes he's attempting to be deep or insightful. Dumb it down for me Einstein. Lol you pseudo intellectual scumbags get worse every generation.
He ain’t no Marty Robbins there buddy.
Loved this song since the first time i heard it on the show forensic factor about 10 yrs ago now.
I heard a very small snippet of this song in That Chapters episode on Danny Rollings and it gave me chills. Not because it’s a good song (which lets be honest, it’s not half bad)…but because I picture that creepy man in a tent alone in the Florida backwoods recording this song before he leaves to go brutally take 5 innocent lives. To sum this up…ITS CREEPY AS FUCKING FUCK.
Can anyone imagine him on American idol omg he would of killed the competition...no puns intended
Honestly these songs are really haunting It's almost like he's singing to the souls of the people that he killed
I thought the EXACT SAME THING! Especially when he says the outlaws face is the last thing you ever see, it gives me chills. He has a great voice if he'd just went a different way...
He recorded this shortly before going to Gainesville.
@@CrimesKillersCultsandBeerHe had already killed before going to Gainesville.
@@dogwithsombrero6498 I know that. We did a 2.5 hour deep dive on him on the podcast, as well as 30 minutes on Sondra London and him on our Prison Tinder episode.
Came from EWU's video. The chills I've got as I listen, but the lyrical mastery is astounding. This would have been a very successful song if recorded in a proper studio, had he chosen that path in life. But now, knowing the truth behind the lyrics, it's just infamous.
Same. Couldn't leave it with just hearing the little bit they put in lol😅
The reason why the songs sounds good is because he is using the rythm and chord progression from the House of the Rising Sun, he even sings in the similar bluesy style. He's copying.
By the Gods, just imagine how the lives of so many people, his included, could have been different if he just would have stuck to making music. This song is unbelievably good (not only because of the music itself and the lyrics but maybe also because of the depth caused by his actions?).
how the lives of so many people could have been different if his dad wasn't an abusive sack of shit. supposedly the guy beat danny's dog and it died in his arms. if he'd had a better father who knows how he would have turned out
« You’re a killer, drifter gone insane » It’s a self description, I think he was aware of how he was going through and we know that it completely was the case.
He recorded this right before he went to Gainesville
I hope one day a higher quality version of this surfaces. I know it’s fucked up but, this stuff has to be preserved.
Unfortunately it's already preserved. Think about all the people who downloaded this already

Play this on scream sound track
Rest in peace legend.
Someone PLEASE do a modern rendition of this song! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! The sadness in his voice is so beautiful. Brute with a beautiful voice!
I see u just posted a few days ago. Sad to say this is on one of my playlists on TH-cam. I dont like what he did but his songs and voice was kinda great js.
Here you go. Its a metal anthem, and Danny would have hated it. th-cam.com/video/vkMN862-hWU/w-d-xo.html
"Get me a whiskey coz ima feelin a little risky"
Damn.
This is so creepy. Knowing he had actually killed people. When he says "you're a killer" I can just sense what was going through his head replaying the murders in his head.
It makes me uncomfortable and intrigued at the same time. It's like I don't like the song but I do. It's so fucked up. It makes me feel angry at myself for feeling so indifferent about this
Danny was a Sicko but boy so talented. My God this is a great song. Bad that he chose a different path
I know… I hate what he did, but I do think he was very talented with his music . If he just could’ve focused on that.
For awhile I thought I was sick in my head for liking his songs and found myself enjoying it. But reading some comments who thought the same makes me feel better. I agree he did unimaginable things but I have a feeling the abuse his father inflicted was a huge impact on why this man turned out this way. Its too bad he didn't choose a different path.
A woman who made London's best kidney pie killed her two husbands by poisoning the pies. We both would like her kidney pie, I'm sure.
i thought this guy was a huge piece of shit until i read about his father. i cried for a good half hour after reading about his dad beating his dog so bad that it died in his arms. his dad was a gigantic piece of shit and doubtlessly had a direct hand in the monster he would become. fuck james rolling.
I watched a few people trying to cover this and I believe a lot of people are interpreting the chords the wrong way the original sounds complete different. For me the best part is when the melody changes to almost power cord like sound but a lot of people are leaving this out
He´s sadly a drifter gone insane, and became addicted to worse and more horrific stuff. I like his music, and we dont have to be sorry for that.
The sins are bad, but not the person.
The sins are bad, the person is bad. His music is art, and art can be good on its own
@@MichaelHeyra Yes i´m 50/50 on the "person is bad" But i agree .
I could listen to this while playing rdr2!!
*This song perfectly illustrates the paradox of human existence; beauty within all ugliness, and the good within all evil.*
They should have played what he said after he played this song. He said “well there is something I gotta do now”. Kinda creepy.
Playing guitar was something to feel good about himself
that, and decapitating young women
I found it, amazing song! Coming from watching EWU’s video.
HALP!!! I'M SO OBSESSED I CANNOT STAUP LISTENING TO THIS EERIE GOOD SONG!!!! UGH!!! FAK!! 😮😰
One of the best songs I've ever heard
You should listen to more music. This does sound great but it's written by a coward and frankly it's hard to separate the art from the artist for me
@@R3TROSKULLhe’s an animal like all of us. He just had the balls to murder people that most of us don’t.
This song is so sick, I can hear the deepest "pain" that turned him into a Killer, this song kinda makes me scary, he sing it with "expression"
The most beautiful music is built off pure emotion. It's sad but.. I have no words.
Maybe. Maybe that’s what makes his song and his voice so amazing. His whole soul is in this song. All his feeling and being. You can literally feel it. It’s palpable !
He already WAS a killer when he recorded this. He recorded this right before he went to Gainesville. He had already killed 3 people in Louisiana at this point.
What a shame he chose to go to the dark side. Talent can be so wasted on dirty people that don't deserve it.
How could such a handsome, talented man do such terrible things? Tragic, awful, incomprehensible.
Talented yes. Handsome not so much
@@karimtemri1664 Hmm.. I think he was except for his hair loss and that could have been remedied.
he was a fairly average guy in terms of looks and he had singing talent but he definitely is not one of the greatest. I think a lot of people elevate him due to his crimes like they do with Dahmer.
Scary how this song is lowkey fire
Are you black or something..?

I got it from the channel "Horror Stash" on youtube. They've got many more songs as well. I have no idea where they got them from, but these are from the trial evidence. Pretty sweet stuff.

Jamie Wojcik Thank you Sir.
codebman no prob!
Imagine long fingers picking on strings by the fire. The darkness of the forest closing in. Singing his eerie dirge covered in blood by the moonlight. Surrounded by the bones and organs of young girls. Calling out to the night in his own twisted witches sabbath.
Dang I didn’t expect this song to actually be good
Got a "House of the rising sun" feel to it
A minor E major are strong in this song
Has anyone done a decent cover of this? The most haunting part of this is (if I am correct) he recorded this after robbing a bank in the days following the killing spree.
He recorded this right before going to Florida. As for a cover, its metal, but here you go. th-cam.com/video/vkMN862-hWU/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful
according to EWU one of their channels one of their videos, I think it's name EWU story, this is one of a serial killer songs he wrote it and he sang it and he played it, disturbing 😱
I'm not giving him an excuse but I think the way he was treated harshly by his father when was a kid turned him into this monster!
People saying he’s a sick human being but he has talent 💯 what’s the difference between our rappers we listen to they kill people and talk about it same thing.
well, rappers usually talk about gang violence, which is bad, but this person is a bit different. He didn't shoot rival gang members, he killed 8 people and raped several of the victims, brutally mutilating their bodies. Both are killing, but I think that's a bit worse than gang violence, also, I predict a large percentage of rappers are just talking shit and haven't actually killed anyone, whilst this man was proven guilty. The song is catchy, that's why I am here, but I don't think being a good singer makes it right by any means. if you are interested more about the topic here is an interesting documentary. th-cam.com/video/q2HX52GzMVg/w-d-xo.html
The wickest and sickest are the biggest talent. R.I.P. Hombeboy
You think the two men and outlaw part was about him shooting his Dad?
No. He wrote and recorded this shortly before going to Florida. He imagined himself in a shootout with a police officer.
@@CrimesKillersCultsandBeer which was his father no other police officer instantly comes to mind
@@Ken_Frazer-619 Could be, but I interpreted it as him squaring off with a cop in a new town. He could have been picturing his father, but he refers to himself as a drifter rolling into town as a stranger. That wouldn't be his father.
It sounds like a voice coming from hell.
This absolute sick bastard could have been a great folk indie artist too bad he chose a deviants path have to admit this is a hauntingly dark yet beautiful song the guy had talent!
Crazy man. But damn. This song is so good
Danny Rolling and Charles Manson, singing duet in hell
Holy crap this song is beautiful. I can’t even wrap my head around it. How can anyone write something so beautifully melodic and then destroy beauty and life?
Maybe he was the kind of guy who needed a strong emotional connection but believed everyone was superficial and self centred and therefore their life was not important
People do that daily in their thoughts, ripping people apart, thinking sick and disgusting things with their mind. So no difference between people who act on these thoughts versus the people who internalise it.
@@reegyreegzthank you. That gives me a lot to think about

so beautiful and sad song of serial killer.
Please put up Coming down on you
Its actually legit. I'll give credit where and whenever it's rightfully due, regardless of who its going to. It's haunting and possessed a very Terry Reid esq, "to be treated right", melancholy inflection and tone to it. I wouldn't be surprised one bit, if he was influenced by Terry Reid. It's just got his own special touch with a little southern spin on it. I like it. Should have pursued this instead of becoming the poster boy for 90s horror flicks and ending up in a prison paupers grave.

asked the tender with a big cigar
You give me a whiskey
cause I'm feeling a little risky
if that tin star's in town
well you tell him I'm around
Mystery rider,
What's your name?
You're a killer,
A drifter gone insane
Mystery rider,
What's your game?
You're a rebel
No one else can tame.
Ummmmm last verse? You missed it.
ComicalSmile3
Out on a windy, lonely, lonely street
Two slinging quick words,
“Well, we finally, finally meet.”
Fast as lightning the two men, well they draw.
The outlaw, he was the last thing he ever saw.
