I ride a big blue roan

I carry all I own

In the pouches of my saddlebag

With my bedroll tied behind

There's a prairie in the sky

I'll find it by and by

Hills of brown and yellow

To make a soul unwind

Let the music take me home

To where a heart may roam

I'll fly across the meadows

Touch the tall grass as I go

Let the gentle western wind

Stay with me till the end

Beside me till the day is done

And the sun is setting low

Leave the ponies to run free

Far as the eye can see

I'd ride the range forever

To see them once again

Let the wild flying things

Soar above me on their wings

And the stars fill up the night sky

And the moon light up the plains

I ride a big blue roan

I carry all I own

In the pouches of my saddlebag

With my bedroll tied behind
