Ridin' Home

(Michael Carr / Ken Leslie Smith)

Al Bowlly acc. by Orchestra conducted by Ronnie Munro


Riding home, riding home
While the moon lights my way down the trail
'Cross that old borderline
To those old pals of mine
There's a stray on his way, riding home

Riding high, riding high
With the stars in a bright Texas sky
I can hear Pete say
"Jim, fix another place for Slim"
There's a stray on his way, riding home

Went out to round up the city
Laid my guns and my saddle to rest
Went out to round up the city and found
That a cowhand belongs in the west

Riding home, riding home
To the sound of a coyote's call
There's a gal I love so
And she's waiting there, I know
For the stray on his way, riding home

Ain't a-roamin' any more, this cowhand
Riding home, riding home to stay
Saddle the roan, ride the range that I love
Riding home, riding home to stay
Riding home
Riding home
