well we rode into town like a couple of fools   high on the mezcal, bent low on my mule   i's just trying to find some place where a man might find some rest   wash the tears from my eyes and the blood from my vest      one lonesome saddle   one long and lonesome ride   one lonely cowboy   pining a woman unkind      walked into the saloon on my feet that felt like lead   cold steel hammer pounding into the back of my head   i raise up my glass to the quick and to the dead   saying hey he ain't heavy and a bottle of red      one lonesome saddle   one long and lonesome ride   one lonely cowboy   pining a woman unkind      as the glass it left my lips, i felt her hand upon me   her smile it was so warm but her eyes were so cold   she says to me now, "won't you please walk beside me"   i just shut my mouth and i did as i was told      one lonesome saddle   one long and lonesome ride   one lonely cowboy   pining a woman, cold-hearted woman   pining a woman unkind
