Saddle Boy
Through the grey frosty dawn Every cold winters morn Rode this lad full of life and joy Every day just the same Down the roadway he came He was known as their own saddle boy
In his youth free from strife He was called from this live From the sorrows of lifes highway He was needed above At the homestead of love For the last final roundup someday
Now the sad willows wave On a cold silent grave Where the tall grasses bend and bow And the jackasses laugh Is the only epitapn O're the grave of the brave saddle boy
At the schoolhouse on the rise Teacher always watched the skies For the storm clouds that rose like foam You've a long way he said Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So you'd better go ahead Saddle up Saddle boy ride for home
He had ten miles to ride Through the dark countryside As the storm all around raged on Just one creek left to cross Struck by driftwood boy and horse Swept away by the mad raging foam
And the lighting overhead Showed the last sandy bed Where the boy and the pony lay And old boundry rider Troy Was the one who found the boy And who took the saddening message home next day
And the old people say Of the long nights in May When the wind though the valley roams Pounding hoove beats resound Through the tall timber land It's their own saddle boy riding home
