Roseanne, daughter of a man
Watched him die at her mama’s hand
Washed herself clean with the water and sand
Mounted up when she could barely stand
Across the dust and sage she flew
Trying to find a place where she could start anew, alright
Little old church made of straw and mud
Lit up a candle for love and blood
Lit up a candle for love and blood
Little old church made of straw and mud
Lit up the church, burned it down
See it all the way clear to Whiskeytown, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
Whiskeytown ranger, dark and thin
Saw that smoke, stank of sin
Saddled up, got his men
Rode through the night to rope her in
She woke up roped up in her mind
Saw their dust just in time, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
Roseanne, daughter of a man
Her mama hung from the gallows stand
The church that burned, she took the blame
Though her crime was not the same
Although her crime was not the same
The church that burned, she took the blame, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
Wind and the sand, wind and the sand
Changed my story like it changed the land, alright
