One More Ride Lyrics - Hank Snow

One more ride 

I will long for a trip, don't need no grip 

I'm takin' one more ride 

'Way out there in the prairie air 

I guess it's in my hide 

For the clickety-clack of the railroad track is callin' 

If a man that knows where the Santa Fe goes 

When she gets under steam 

And a big loud bell bids a fond farewell 

To hear her whistle scream 

She's bound to go where there ain't no snow a-fallin' 

One more ride 

I will miss the gloom of the pale white moon 

That seemed to know my name 

And the tumbleweeds where the prairie dogs feed 

I miss them just the same 

They're all a part of the song in my heart I'm singin' 

I recall a tune that I sang to the moon 

It seemed to make him smile 

As I rode away at the close of day 

And stayed so long, awhile 

But I long to be where the memory is ringin' 

One more ride 

As the years roll by, I wonder why 

I long to leave my home 

And hit the trail of the iron rail 

Away out there alone 

But my heart will sigh 'til I know that I am leavin' 

If I don't come back there's a one-way track 

Way down in Mexico 

You'll find me there or any old where 

That a tumbleweed will grow 

So it's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grievin' 

One more ride
