Marty Robbins - Ride Cowboy Ride lyrics
rate meRide, cowboy, ride<br />
Don't ride too slow<br />
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go<br />
<br />
He started his long ride in Prescott<br />
The sun was a hundred or more<br />
On down he rode at full gallop<br />
Into the flat desert floor<br />
<br />
Driving the big herd to Flagstaff<br />
In Prescott the letter was there<br />
Happiness soon would be sorrow<br />
Sad news the letter did bear<br />
<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
Don't go too slow<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
You've a long way to go<br />
<br />
Your darlin' now lies on her deathbed<br />
Racked by fever and pain<br />
Reaching for you at her bedside<br />
At each breath she's callin' your name<br />
<br />
Forward he leaned in the saddle<br />
Pushing through mesquite and sage<br />
His head never raised for a greeting<br />
As he passed the Wickenburg stage<br />
<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
Don't ride too slow<br />
Tucson's a mighty long way to go<br />
<br />
In Phoenix he traded horses<br />
Now on the back of this roan<br />
He could see visions of Tucson<br />
His darlin' and their lovely home<br />
<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
Don't ride too slow<br />
There's still a hundred and twenty to go<br />
<br />
In through the ranch gate he galloped<br />
And without breaking his stride<br />
He bounded out of the saddle<br />
And rushed to his sweet darlin's side<br />
<br />
Then as the dyin' girl saw him<br />
A smile came over her face<br />
Holding her hand as it tightened<br />
Barely had he won the race<br />
<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
On through the blue<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
She'll be waiting for you<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
On through the blue<br />
Ride, cowboy, ride<br />
She'll be waiting for you
