The Man in Black Lyrics

by Glenn Shorrock

He just rode in from Nevada, as the leaves turned brown,
with the dust from off the desert, he drifted into town,
it was easy to see he was a gambler,
and the ladies all knew what he was after.
He was the man in black, nobody knew why he came,
the man in black, does anyone here know his name?

He made his bed down by the river, and there he spent his days,
one by one, all the ladies fell beneath his gaze,
they knew very well they were in danger,
but they were under the spell of the stranger.
He was the man in black, nobody knew why he came,
the man in black, does anyone here know his name?

Can you tell me where he's hiding?
and was there a young woman with him?

She is my daughter, I've come to fetch her,
and when I find her, I swear that man's gonna die.
He was the man in black, nobody knew why he came,
the man in black, does anyone here know his name?

He was the man in black, nobody knew why he came,
the man in black, does anyone here know his name?
