The Searchers |
| What makes a man to wander? |
| What makes a man to roam? |
| What makes a man leave bed and board |
| And turn his back on home? |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
| Some men they search for Indians |
| For humpback buffalo |
| And even when they’ve found them |
| They move on lonesome slow |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
| The snow is deep and oh, so white |
| The winds they howl and moan |
| Fire cooks a man his buffalo meat |
| But his lonely heart won’t warm |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
| A man will search his heart and soul |
| Go searchin' way out there |
| His peace of mind he knows he’ll find |
| But where, oh Lord, Lord where? |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
| (Transcribed by Mel Priddle — December 2015) |
| As recorded by TEX RITTER: |
| What makes a man to wander |
| What makes a man to roam? |
| What makes a man leave bed and board |
| And turn his back on home? |
| Ride away (Ride away), ride away (ride away), ride away |
| Now, a man will search for fortune |
| Of silver and of gold |
| The silver he finds in his hair |
| While a weary heart grows old |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
| The snow is deep and oh, so white |
| The winds they howl and moan |
| Fire cooks a man his buffalo meat |
| But his lonely heart won’t warm |
| Ride away, ride away, ride away |
