Ride Away
Recorded by Slim Whitman
Written by Ben Gadus

C                          G7           C
Ride away ride away with a song in your heart
                                               G7
Don't look back I don't want you to know how I feel
     C                        F
Ride away with a song in your heart for I know
          G7                C
That your love can never be real

                        F
Oh no little darling no way can I say what 
     C                   G7
Your careless loving can do
C                          F
Now that your leaving your leaving a grieving heart
     C        G7        C
That you have broken in two

                                 F
It's too late little darlin' for you
               C                     G7
To atone for a love I thought I once knew
     C                           F
I'll hitch up your buckboard and hand you the reins
      C              G7         C
For I know that your love isn't true

                         F
Now I'm a wrangler and I ride all alone
       C                       G7
With a shepherd dog here at my side
     C                       F
Only he and my pinto and the breezes that blow know
    C         G7                C
How my broken heart strings are tied

                                        F
Oh the nights aren't so lonely when the cattle
                 C                        G7
Lie down and the doggies sad eyes look my way
C                     F
They seem to echo the sadness my heart knows
      C            G7              C
And I wonder who's lost more me or they

                 G7           C
Ride sway with a song in your heart don't look back 
                               G7
I don't want you to know how I feel
     C                        F
Ride away with a song in your heart for I know 
          G7                C
That your love can never be real

     G7                                    C
Ride away ride away your love can never be real
