D#
I ride an old paint he's on the weary side
D#  A#                           D#
And I'm a saddle tramp about to cross the Great Divide
               A#                       D#
Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the draw
       A#                       D#
And a forty pound saddle won't make us both raw

Chorus:
D#    A#                    D#
Slow rider, Slow rider move on a little more
D#   A#                        D#
The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
