J. Cash Key: Eb / CAPO: 1st / Play: D VERSE: 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 D A D Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the draw D 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 VERSE: 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 REPEAT CHORUS VERSE: 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 REPEAT CHORUS
