well we rode into town like a couple of fools
high on the mezcal, bent low on my mule
i's just trying to find some place where a man might get some rest
wash the tears from my eyes and the blood from my vest
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
saying hey he ain't heavy and a bottle of red
one lonesome saddle
one long 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
one lonesome saddle
one long and lonesome ride
one lonely cowboy
pining a woman, cold-hearted woman
pining a woman unkind
high on the mezcal, bent low on my mule
i's just trying to find some place where a man might get some rest
wash the tears from my eyes and the blood from my vest
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
saying hey he ain't heavy and a bottle of red
one lonesome saddle

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
one lonesome saddle
one long and lonesome ride
one lonely cowboy
pining a woman, cold-hearted woman
pining a woman unkind
