Empty Saddles - Sons of the Pioneers

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Empty Saddles
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 saddles in the old corral
My tears will be dried tonight
If you'll only say I'm lonely as you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral

There is no smoke, still the fires burn
There's no song, still I hear guitars
There is no dust, still the ghosts return
Softly to vanish through the bars

I don not own this song or anything.

We had this on an LP, but this recording is clearly of a much older vintage. This came off a 78, I'd bet on it. Even if you have it on a CD, the original master for this was a 78, and one in good condition. This is a terrific arrangement, though different from the one on the LP, which came out in the '60s.
