Ran from home and joined the circus
All those freaks who couldn’t miss us
The tent caught fire and all the people died
They’d all been locked inside
I barely crawled out with a beast in tow
It started to rain, hitch hiked to Mexico
When they told you I was dead
When they told you I was dead
Ohhhhh it wasn’t true
I was only dead to you
Of the coast of Tampico
Took a steamer on to Rio
The captain took his life and all the sailors too
He’d been double crossed by gypsys on the ocean blue
A storm was brewing and the ship went down
Drifted on a raft and I was finally found
When they told you I was dead
When they told you I was dead
Ohhhhh it wasn’t true
I was only dead to you
Bought a gun became a hunter
Skinned rabbits bring the thunder
It was the coldest winter
Montana’s ever seen
Killed my horse to eat its meat
Lost three fingers but spring came sweet.
When they told you I was dead
When they told you I was dead
Ohhhhh it wasn’t true
I was only dead to you
Ohhhhh it wasn’t true
I was only dead to you
