Well we rode into town like a
couple of fools
One eye on the mescal, bent
low on my mule
I's just tryna find some place
where a man might get some
rest.
Wash the tears from my eyes
and the blood from my vest.
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman unkind
Walked into the saloon on my
feet that felt like lead
Cold steel hammer pounding
into the back of my head
I raise up my glass to the quick
and to the dead
Singin yeah ya heavy in the
bottle bed
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One lone and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman unkind
As the glass it left my lips I felt
her hand upon me
Her smile it was so warm, but
her eyes were so cold
She says to me now won't you
please walk beside me
I just shut my mouth and I did
as I was told
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman, a coldhearted
women
Pining a woman unkind
