Buddies In The Saddle |
Peter Rowan & Don Edwards |
|
One stormy day, me and my buddy |
Started on our roundup ride |
The wind and dust blew hard around us, |
My buddy strayed far from my side |
|
We were buddies in the saddle, |
We were buddies in our home, |
We were buddies herding cattle, |
We were buddies everywhere we roamed |
Solo |
|
I'll ne'er forget the day I found him, |
He was so weak he could not speak |
I'll ne'er forget the smile he gave me, |
Then the poor boy fell asleep |
|
I took him up in my saddle |
And carried home across the plain |
My mother nursed him every moment |
To try to make him well again |
|
We were buddies in the saddle, |
We were buddies in our home, |
We were buddies herding cattle, |
We were buddies everywhere we roamed |
Solo |
|
I've never had a pal so near me, |
He took the blame for everything |
I'd die for him just any moment, |
And for me he'd do the same |
|
But now by buddy's gone and left me, |
And it's so hard to struggle 'long |
So hard to believe that he has left me, |
I can't realize that he has gone |
|
We were buddies in the saddle, |
We were buddies in our home, |
We were buddies herding cattle, |
We were buddies everywhere we roamed |
