Arthur Morgan – A Red Dead Redemption 2 Ballad | Western Outlaw Song!

About the Song:
This heartfelt fictional ballad follows the journey of Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2—a man caught between loyalty, redemption, and mortality. As the Van der Linde gang crumbles and his health fades, Arthur’s honor shines through. A tragic tale set to western folk melody, it pays tribute to one of the most iconic outlaws in modern gaming lore.

LYRIC:
On dusty trails where the wild winds call,  
Arthur Morgan rides, chasin' dreams so tall.  
With a cough in his chest and a soul full of load,  
Tuberculosis breaks him on this lonesome road.  

Dutch took him in like a son when the world turned cold,  
In Van der Linde's gang, he found a home to hold.  
But the Wild West fades, the law's closin' in tight,  
Arthur fights his demons, heart torn 'tween wrong and right.  

John Marston, a brother, though a rival at times,  
For Abigail and Jack, he'd give his last dime.  
Leviticus Cornwall, a rich man with might,  
His train got robbed, now he hunts through the night.  

On dusty trails where the wild winds call,  
Arthur Morgan rides, chasin' dreams so tall.  
With a cough in his chest and a soul full of load,  
Tuberculosis breaks him on this lonesome road.  

Micah Bell, a snake, whisperin' lies to the law,  
Dutch follows blind, and Arthur sees the flaw.  
In Saint Denis, the bank falls, shipwrecked on Guarma's shore,  
But the sickness grabs him, he knows death's at the door.  

Rains Fall, wise elder, shows him a savin' grace,  
"Save John and his kin," he pleads with a tear-streaked face.  
When Pinkertons storm in, Dutch leaves him to bleed,  
Arthur speaks the truth, but Micah's got greed.  

On a hill he stands, dawn breakin' through the haze,  
Tuberculosis chokes him, breath slippin' away.  
To John he cries, "Run, live for your boy and wife,"  
With high honor he fades, watchin' sunrise take his life.  

On dusty trails where the wild winds call,  
Arthur Morgan rests, dreams lost to the fall.  
With his last breath gone, in peace he's set free,  
A legend lingers on where the plains meet the sea.  

Dutch turned his back, Micah cursed his name,  
But John got a chance, through Arthur's dying flame.  
Tuberculosis claimed him, yet his story rides strong,  
Arthur Morgan, a hero, in the West's endless song.
