"Rose Of Cimarron" 1976 Rusty Young - steel guitar, guitar, vocals
Rusty Young said of the song: "'Rose of Cimarron' is a song I wrote after I picked up a
brochure while we [Poco] were on tour in Oklahoma in 1973. It told a story of a woman
who took in outlaws in the 1800's. She fed them, mended their wounds and sent them on
their way. Or so they say. ... [W]hen I played 'Rose' for the band, everyone wanted to
make it
a Poco record."
Capo 2nd
Chorus
Ro-ll along, roll o-n, Ro-se of Cimarron
Du-sty days are go-ne, Ro-se of Cimarron
Shadows touch the sand and look to see who's sta-ndin'
Waitin' at your window, watchin' will they ever sh-ow?
Can you hear them calling? You know they have fa-llen on
Campfires cold and dark that, never see a spark burn bri-ght
Ro-ll along, roll o-n, Ro-se of Cimarron
Du-sty days are go-ne, Ro-se of Cimarron
Trails that brought them ho-me, echo names they've kno-wn
Four days high and lonely, comin' to you only he-re
You're the one they'd turn to, the only one they knew who'd do
All her best to be around, when the chips were do-wn
Ro-ll along, roll o-n, Ro-se of Cimarron
Du-sty days are go-ne, Ro-se of Cimarron
Shadows touch the sand and, look to see who's sta-ndin'
Waitin' at your window, watchin' will they ever sh-ow?
Ro-ll along, roll o-n, Ro-se of Cimarron
Du-sty days are go-ne, Ro-se of Cimarron
Ro-ll along, roll o-n, Ro-se of Cimarron
Du-sty days are go-ne, Ro-se of Cimarron

Hea-rts like yours belo-ng, Fo-llowing the da-wn
Wra-pped up in a so-ng, Ro-se of Cimarron
