She came down from up near Katherine
A E
Moved in across the ridge
E B
She was everything a young man could desire
E
Out there in the ranges
A E
In secret we would meet
E B E
My heart ran as wild as desert fire
E
Like a burning sun beating down
B E
She sparked a flame on virgin ground
A E
And if by chance a fire should start
B E
No one could tame the burning heart
E
Well her father owned the station
A E
Where I rode the boundry fences
E B
And he made it clear for all the hands to see
E
That a man could easily wind up
A E
On the wrong end of his shot gun
E B E
And his little girl was only seventeen
E
Like a burning sun beating down
B E
She sparked a flame on virgin ground
A E
And if by chance a fire should start
B E
No one could tame the burning heart
