EMPTY SADDLES Bing Crosby VERSE 1: 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 CHORUS: Empty saddles in the old corral, Where do ya ride tonight? Are ya roundin' up the dogies, The strays of long ago, Are ya on the trail of buffalo? Empty saddles in the old corral, Where do ya ride tonight? Are there rustlers on the border, Or a band of Navajo Are ya headin' for the Alamo? Empty guns covered with rust Where do ya talk tonight? Empty boots covered with dust Where do ya walk tonight? Empty saddles in the old corral, My tears would be dried tonight If you'll only say I'm lonely, As ya carry my old pal Empty saddles in the old corral VERSE 2: 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 thru the bars
