SLOW RIDER
J. Cash
Recorded: 2/15/60
Album: Ride This Train

Key: Eb / CAPO: 1st / Play: D

VERSE:
D
I ride an old paint he's on the weary side
D   A                           D
And I'm a saddle tramp about to cross the Great Divide
D             A                    D
Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the draw
D     A                        D
And a forty pound saddle won't make us both raw

CHORUS:
D    A                      D
Slow rider, Slow rider move on a little more
D   A                          D
The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door

VERSE:
I can't help but miss them the daughters that I had
One went to Denver the other went bad
My young wife died in a pool room fight
But I try to keep singin' from morin' til night

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE:
Whenever I die take my saddle from the wall
Strap it on Snuffie lead him out of the stall
Throw me on his back and turn him towards to west
He know how to take me to the spot I love best

REPEAT CHORUS
