The Beauty and The Outlaw
I met her out dancin last Saturday evenin
A spark from her eyes sent a shock through my soul
I asked her to dance and then we started waltzin
Just holdin her once sent me out of control
She said she was promised to a boy up in Raleigh
The way that we danced has made that a lie
I held her so closely I could feel her heartbeat
It matched mine so well I knew we would fly
The river runs wild down in South Carolina
It flows from the mountains in east Tennessee Chorus
My heart once ran wild down in South Carolina
A raven haired beauty has stole it from me
I thought I had no love a cold-hearted outlaw
I took it from women with no backward glance
The fire in her eye told me my ways were changin
Before I first held her before our first dance
It wasnt her beauty that was my undoin
One look in her heart and I knew I was gone
Ill spend all my life with this girl from the flatlands
Ill spend it with her or Ill spend it alone
The river runs wild down in South Carolina
It flows from the mountains in east Tennessee Chorus
My heart once ran wild down in South Carolina
A raven haired beauty has stole it from me
My heart once ran wild down in South Carolina
Now its in a cage only she holds the key
Were ridin tonight right back to my homeland
Right back to my mountain in east Tennessee
If anyone hears from that boy up in Raleigh
Tell him an outlaw has stole his sweetheart
And not to go search at the head of the river
He wont tear that beauty and outlaw apart
Instrumental Break 16 Bars
The river runs wild down in South Carolina
It flows from the mountains in east Tennessee Chorus
My heart once ran wild down in South Carolina
A raven haired beauty has stole it from me
A raven haired beauty has stole it from me
