[Chorus]
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
Don't ride too slow
B7 E
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go
[Verse]
E B7
He started his long ride in Prescott
E B7
The sun was a hundred or more
E B7
On down he rode at full gallop
E B7 E
Into the flat desert floor
E B7
Driving the big herd to Flagstaff
E B7
In Prescott the letter was there
E B7
Happiness soon would be sorrow
E B7 E
Sad news the letter did bear
[Chorus]
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
Don't go too slow
B7
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
You've a long way to go
[Verse]
E B7
Your darlin' now lies on her deathbed
E B7
Racked by fever and pain
E B7
Reaching for you at her bedside
E B7 E
At each breath she's callin' your name
E B7
Forward he leaned in the saddle
E B7
Pushing through mesquite and sage
E B7
His head never raised for a greeting
E B7 E
As he passed the Wickenburg stage
[Chorus]
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
Don't ride too slow
B7 E
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go
[Verse]
E B7
In Phoenix he traded horses
E B7
Now on the back of this roan
E B7
He could see visions of Tucson
E B7 E
His darlin' and their lovely home
[Chorus]
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
Don't ride too slow
B7 E
There's still a hundred and twenty to go
[Verse]
E B7
In through the ranch gate he galloped
E B7
And without breaking his stride
E B7
He bounded out of the saddle
E B7 E
And rushed to his sweet darlin's side
E B7
Then as the dyin' girl saw him
E B7
A smile came over her face
E B7
Holding her hand as it tightened
E B7 E
Barely had he won the race
[Chorus]
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
On through the blue
B7
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
She'll be waiting for you
A
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
On through the blue
B7
Ride, cowboy, ride
E
She'll be waiting for you
