Marty Robbins - Ride Cowboy Ride Lyrics
Ride, cowboy, rideDon't ride too slowTucson's a mighty long way yet to goHe started his long ride in PrescottThe sun was a hundred or moreOn down he rode at full gallopInto the flat desert floorDriving the big herd to FlagstaffIn Prescott the letter was thereHappiness soon would be sorrowSad news the letter did bearRide, cowboy, rideDon't go too slowRide, cowboy, rideYou've a long way to goYour darlin' now lies on her deathbedRacked by fever and painReaching for you at her bedsideAt each breath she's callin' your nameForward he leaned in the saddlePushing through misquete and sageHis head never raised for a readingAs he passed the Wickenburg stageRide, cowboy, rideDon't ride too slowTucson's a mighty long way to goIn Phoenix he traded horsesNow on the back of this roanHe could see visions of TucsonHis darlin' and their lovely homeRide, cowboy, rideDon't ride too slowThere's still a hundred and twenty to goIn through the ranch gate he gallopedAnd without breaking his strideHe bounded out of the saddleAnd rushed to his sweet darlin's sideThen as the dyin' girl saw himA smile came over her faceHolding her hand as it tightenedBarely had he won the raceRide, cowboy, rideOn through the blueRide, cowboy, rideShe'll be waiting for youRide, cowboy, rideOn through the blueRide, cowboy, rideShe'll be waiting for you
