I said hello to the man that tried to win your hand. A long time ago.. I tried to smile as he talked of the days. When he was your beau,. But I could see he was a-shamin' me.
[Chorus:]. Ride the blue wind high and free. She'll lead you down through misery. Leave you low, come time to go. Alone and low as low can be. . If I had a nickel I'd find a game.
When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains. And there's nothing left to do but lay around. I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge. Waitin' for the train. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I rode out of Kansas City, going, south to Mexico. I was, running dodging danger,left the, girl that I loved so. Far behind lay Kansas City and the, past that I had earned.
Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around. Whenever I need my deck of cards I lay my money down. I lay my money down I lay my money down. I had not been in Washington many more days than three.
You know Dasher and Dancer. And Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid. And Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall. The most famous reindeer of all. . Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.
When evening chores are over. At our ranch house on the plains. And all I've got to do is lay around. I saddle up my pony and go ridin' down the trail.
My rose of ol' Pawnee a flower of a dawn. Blooming tenderly her memory still lingers on. My angel of the night a moonlit reverie. A star of love so bright shines on my rose of ol' Pawnee.
My rose of ol' Pawnee a flower of a dawn. Blooming tenderly her memory still lingers on. My angel of the night a moonlit reverie. A star of love so bright shines on my rose of ol' Pawnee.
Ride, cowboy, ride. Don't ride too slow. Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go. He started his long ride in Prescott. The sun was a hundred or more. On down he rode at full gallop.
Return to me. Oh my dear I'm so lonely. Hurry back hurry back. Oh my love hurry back I'm yours. Return to me. For my heart wants you only. Hurry home hurry home.
Ribbon of darkness over me. Since my true love walked out the door. Tears I never had before. Ribbon of darkness over me. . Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head.
Rich man, rich man got all the good land. Ain't nothin' left but bad land for the poor man. Rich man's money, rich man's school. Did they make the poor man, rich man's fool.
Restless cattle, stop your millin' round. It's time to go to sleep. While I tell you bout some secrets. This poor cowboy has to keep. You won't understand, but still I'd like.

If he wants to know her lips and touch of her fingertips. I touched them before refer him to me. The loveliness of her face to warm her in his embrace.
I got a letter from my baby. Came in the mail yesterday. She had an awful lot on her mind. She had an awful lot to say. . Well, she treated me like an old, old friend.
How green are the valleys how tall are the trees. How cool are the rivers how soft is the breeze. If it's just like my dreams then I must go and see. For the Red Hills of Utah are calling me.
From this valley they say you are leaving. We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile. For you take with you all of the sunshine. That has brightened our pathway a while.
