The Soul That Could Not Be Saved Lyrics

If you asked well I could not say

Where my life went astray

I swept across the plains

Breaking hearts and robbing trains

Well I knew I would not grow old

But I once had a heart of gold

I once had a heart of gold

But now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal

I slept out under the stars

My horse and holster never far

Now I lie here alone and still

In a cemetery on Boot Hill

Well I knew I would not grow old

But I once had a heart of gold

I once had a heart of gold

But now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal

When it's time to meet my maker

Take me down to the undertaker

Place a flower on the grave

For the soul that could not be saved

Place a flower on the grave

For the soul that could not be saved

This soul could not be saved

This soul could not be saved

This soul could not be saved

This soul could not be saved
