There's something strange in the old corral There's a breeze though the wind has died Though I'm alone in the old corral Seems there is someone at my side Empty saddles in the old corral Where do you ride tonight? Are you roundin' up the dogies? The strays of long ago? Are you on the trail of buffalo? Empty saddles in the old corral Where do you ride tonight? Are there rustlers on the border? Or a band of Navajo? Are you headin' for the Alamo? Empty guns covered with rust Where do you talk tonight? Empty boots covered with dust Where do you walk tonight? Empty saddles in the old corral My tears would be dry tonight If you'd only say I'm lonely As you carry my old pal Empty saddles in the old corral Empty guns covered with rust Where do you talk tonight? Empty boots covered with dust Where do you walk tonight? Empty saddles in the old corral My tears would be dry tonight If you'd only say I'm lonely As you carry my old pal Empty saddles in the old corral
