Lyrics

[00:34.55] I was ridin' down the trail from Santa-Fe
[00:38.98] When I met a pretty gal along the way
[00:43.90] I said Ain't we met before
[00:46.70] Then she drew her forty-four
[00:48.88] So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away
[00:53.83] I was ridin' down the trail from Santa Fe
[00:58.57] When I met another gal along the way
[01:03.60] I said baby you're a dream
[01:05.97] She said touch me and I'll scream
[01:08.73] So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away
[01:13.68] Rode away rode away
[01:18.49] 'Cause there was just no excuse for me to stay
[01:23.70] Tipped my hat that was that
[01:28.55] Yes I keep that kitty sitting where she sat
[01:33.85] I continued down the road to Santa Fe
[01:38.87] When I met another gal along the way
[01:43.83] I asked are you taken too
[01:46.26] She said partner I'll take you
[01:48.71] So I tipped my hat and settled down to stay
[02:14.25] Settled down settled down
[02:19.02] How I curse the day I ever rode to town
[02:24.32] What a lie what a lie
[02:29.27] Ever since the day I took myself a wife
[02:34.46] If you ever ride the trail to Santa-Fe
[02:39.33] And you meet a pretty gal along the way
[02:44.43] There just stop and think of me
[02:47.22] I was happy I was free
[02:49.82] When I tipped my hat and slowly rode away
[02:59.68] Away away
