lyrics

We've been on the the run now
(Policemen on our trail)
About since mid-July
My darling June and I
Our love will never fail
She's my June and I'm her Casey
She's my June and I'm her Casey

Here at the desert's edge
(We've reached the mountains now)
We share one dusty kiss
And fall asleep like this
With horses bedded down
One last night before we're parted
One last night before we're parted

Where the desert turns to mountains
You must leave me there
Head on south my love
Along the foothills, while I
Lead them all away
Across the pass above
And they might get me
But at least you're free

The next days find me cold
(Now just my horse and I)
We crest the pass, and then
We start back down again
I know they're still behind
Heading up the mountain towards me
Heading up the mountain towards me

I'll make my way down south
(We said that's where we'd meet)
It seems I've lost them all
Though I thought for sure I'd fall
And die to set her free
But fate can show surprising kindness
But fate can show surprising kindness

Where the mountains turn to ocean
I will meet you there
Sail across the sea
Far from our pasts, where we can
Make a better life
Just my June and me
Now I'm almost there
I smell the salty air

The paper came today
(I see her in the news)
"JUSTICE IN THE PASS!
IN BLODDY STANDOFF, LAWMEN
KILLED THE OUTLAW JUNE."
She stayed and fought to buy my freedom
She stayed and fought to buy my freedom

So now I'm all alone
(The sun sets o'er the sea)
I sit with head in hand
On California sand
I have no hope for me
Love for her was all that drove me
Love for her was all that drove me

So where the oceans turn to starlight
We will meet again
I will sail so far
Across horizons, and I'll
Hold you there forever
Out among the stars
Where we'll both be free...

She's my June and I'm her Casey
She's my June and I'm her Casey
