Slow Rider Lyrics

J. Cash
Key: Eb / CAPO: 1st / Play: D
VERSE:
I ride an old paint he's on the weary side
And I'm a saddle tramp about to cross the Great Divide
Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the draw
And a forty pound saddle won't make us both raw
CHORUS:
Slow rider, Slow rider move on a little more
The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door
VERSE:
I can't help but miss them the daughters that I had
One went to Denver the other went bad
My young wife died in a pool room fight
But I try to keep singin' from morin' til night
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE:
Whenever I die take my saddle from the wall
Strap it on Snuffie lead him out of the stall
Throw me on his back and turn him towards to west
He know how to take me to the spot I love best
REPEAT CHORUS
