In a recent reading of Koand’s memoirs, he described the tune below as a great song for which Allan Mayes had been making a case during the choosing of selections they were to play as Rusty.
In these memoirs, I’m seeing the story on the surface and the story underneath. Am I imagining this?
Raider Lyrics
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
She blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
Raider, she cries, there's tears in your eyes
Oh, you are dreaming me
Raider sleeps out in the field
Raider's growing old
In freezing winter banks the fires
To keep his mare from cold
In freezing winter banks the fires
To keep his mare from cold
Old Raider sleeps out in the field
Raider's growing old
Raider, she cries, there's tears in your eyes
Oh, you are dreaming me
Shake you, Raider, from your sleep
The time it is all gone
Give the little mare her head
She will bring you home
Give the little mare her head
She will bring you home
Shake you, Raider, from your sleep
The time it is all gone
Raider, she cries, there's tears in your eyes
Oh, you are dreaming me
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
She blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
Raider, she cries, there's tears in your eyes
Oh, you are dreaming me
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
She blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
Raider, she cries, there's tears in your eyes
Oh, you are dreaming me
Oh, you are dreaming me
Oh, you are dreaming me
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
She blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Blackjacked Raider's robber heart
Taught him how to fly
Raider stole a morgan mare
As slick as she was sly
