|
She saved him from whiskey |
|
Was his constant companion |
|
You'd see them out riding at dawn |
|
She gave him his reasons |
|
To shoulder the seasons |
|
Now when you see him |
|
He's riding alone |
|
She'd lay down beside him |
|
To touch him or guide him |
|
Turn 'round his head |
|
On the darkest of days |
|
He still sits beside her |
|
Remembers her smiling |
|
Whispers to her |
|
That old song he would play |
|
Please lay down beside me |
|
How I love you |
|
Never wanted to bid this adieu |
|
No red river ever ran deeper |
|
Than this old cowboy's love |
|
Than this cowboy's love that runs true |
