Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
|
|
Ride, ride ¡®em Jewboy,
|
Ride ¡®em all around the old corral.
|
Oh, I¡¯m, I¡¯m with you boy
|
If I¡¯ve got to ride six million miles.
|
|
Now the smokes from camps are rising
|
See the helpless creatures on their way.
|
Well, old pal, it¡¯s still surprising
|
How far you can go before you stay.
|
|
Don¡¯t you let the morning blind ya
|
When on your sleeve you wore the yeller star.
|
Old memories still live behind ya,
|
Can¡¯t you see by your outfit who you are.
|
|
How long will you be driven relentless ¡®round the world,
|
The blood in the rhythm of the soul.
|
|
Wild ponies all your dreams were broken,
|
Rounded up and made to move along.
|
The loneliness which can¡¯t be spoken
|
Just swings a rope and rides inside a song.
|
|
Dead limbs play with ringless fingers
|
The melody which burns you deep inside.
|
Oh, how the song becomes the singers,
|
May peace be ever with you as you ride.
|
|
In the window candles glowing
|
Remind you that today you are a child,
|
The road ahead, forever rolling,
|
And anything worth cryin¡¯ can be smiled.
|
|
So ride, ride ¡®em Jewboy,
|
Ride ¡®em all around the old corral.
|
I¡¯m, I¡¯m with you boy
|
If I¡¯ve got to ride six million miles.
|
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
