Saddle up

Saddle up

Saddle up

Saddle up
Saddle up and ride your pony
Sit around and you'll be lonely
Saddle up and make the dust fly
Sit around and you will just cry
The first step is the longest
When the wind is blowin' strongest
Check out from Heartbreak Hotel
Saddle up your horse and ride Like hell

Saddle up

Saddle up

Saddle up

No use herding blues at Rancho, Rauncho
Put on your sombrero and your Poncho
While the getting is good

Saddle up

Saddle up and ride your pony
Sit around and you'll be lonely
Saddle up and make the dust fly
Sit around and you will just cry
The first step is the longest
When the wind is blowin' strongest
Check out from Heartbreak Hotel
Saddle up your horse and ride Like hell

Saddle up and ride your pony
Sit around and you'll be lonely
Saddle up and make the dust fly
Get on your high horse and ride

Saddle up

Saddle up

Saddle up (and ride your pony)

(Sit around and you'll be lonely)

Saddle up (and make the dust fly)

(Sit around and you will just cry)

Saddle up, no use herding blues at Rancho, Rauncho
Put on your sombrero and your Poncho
While the getting is good

Saddle up
