Rose of the Cimarron was the beautiful Rose Dunn, who was infatuated with outlaw George "Bittercreek" Newcomb as a teenager in the 1890's. She assisted him and his gang with nursing, shelter and supplies but was the unwitting instrument of his death. Her brothers, knowing that he would visit her at their house lay in wait and killed him for the "dead or alive" reward. She later married a local politician & lived a respectable life until her death. The lyrics seem to cover the stakeout.

Incredible, a bunch of geezers still gettin’ it done. Sound better than most anything produced in the last 30 years. Thank you for posting.
no idea of the history of this song
just that I am very fond of it
thank you for posting
Great song! Poco and Moody Blues my 2 favorite groups. Most of the members are gone.
I never saw Poco love, but I did see the Moody Blues live once.
Always loved Poco and considered them a far better band than the hugely overrated Eagles.
Interestingly, Timothy B Schmit replaced Randy Meiser in Poco.
Later, Timothy B Schmit replaced Randy Meiser in Eagles

Today we commemorate Rusty Young, guitar and pedal steel guitar player with Poco, who unfortunately died of a heart attack on April 14, 2021. He was 75 years old.
