Empty Saddles Songtext
von Burl Ives

Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight?
Are you roundin′ up the dogies
The strays of long ago
Are you on the trail of buffalo?

Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight?
Are there rustlers on the border
Or a band of Navajo
Are you headin' for the Alamo?


Empty guns covered with rust
Where do you talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do you walk tonight?

Empty saddles in the old corral
My tears would be dried tonight
If you′ll only say I'm lonely
As you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral

Empty guns covered with rust
Where do you talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do you walk tonight?


Empty saddles in the old corral
My tears would be dried tonight
If you'll only say I′m lonely
As you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral
