Johnny Cash — Slow Rider

[Verse 1] I ride an old Paint, he's on the weary side And I am a saddle tramp about to cross the Great Divide Where there's grass in the Coulees and water in the drawl And the 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 2] I can't help but missing the daughters that I had One went to Denver, the other went bad My young wife died in a poolroom fight But I try to keep singing from morning till night [Chorus] Slow rider, slow rider, move on a little more The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door [Verse 3] Whenever I die, take my saddle from the wall Strap it on Snuffy, lead him out of the stall Throw me on his back and turn him toward the West He knows how to take me to the spot I love best [Chorus] Slow rider, slow rider, move on a little more The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door
