Beside her was a stranger—How did her life get so off track? So, she sipped some laudanum from a tarnished, silver spoon Evermore to slumber ‘neath the shadow of a golden moon Chorus: Once upon a time in the Wild, Wild West, Gamblers and gunmen put their courage to the test If you woke up in the morning, you were truly blessed And, you lived another day in the Wild, Wild West Chorus: Once upon a time in the Wild, Wild West, Gamblers and gunmen put their courage to the test If you woke up in the morning, you were truly blessed And, you lived another day in the Wild, Wild West Holly Hanson: vocals Steve Hayes: acoustic guitar, tambourine, vocals Morgan Jahnig: upright bass Morgan Jahnig appears courtesy of ATO Records. © 2012 Wild Braid Music (BMI) Sweet Celia Ann (aka Mattie Earp) appears on the album Letters from the Road by Neptune's Car.
