Red River Dave
Empty Saddles
There's something strange in the old corralThere's a breeze, though the wind has diedThough I'm alone in the old corralSeems there is someone at my sideEmpty saddles in the old corralWhere do you ride tonight?Are you roundin' up the dogies, the strays of long agoAre you on the trail of buffalo?Empty saddles in the old corralWhere do you ride tonight?Are there rustlers on the border, or a band of NavajoAre you headin' for the Alamo?Empty guns covered with rustWhere do you talk tonight?Empty boots covered with dustWhere do you walk tonight?Empty saddles in the old corralMy tears will be dried tonightIf you'll only say I'm lonely as you carry my old palEmpty saddles in the old corralThere is no smoke, still the fires burn,There's no song, still I hear guitars,There is no dust, still the ghosts returnSoftly to vanish through the bars
