Slim Dusty - Rope And Saddle Blues lyrics

I've got those old rope and saddle blues I miss the open plain and kangaroos For I like the life that's free this town is not for me I've got those old rope and saddle blues Been hangin' round this smoky town too long I thought I'd like it here but now I know that I was wrong I'm all fenced in by people I feel the need of scope At night I wake up dreaming that I'm hangin' to a rope I've got those old rope and saddle blues And now I know what life I'm going to choose For I'm oh so sad sore I saw happy days before I got those old rope and saddle blues I've got those old rope and saddle blues Gonna pull on the old spike heels instead of shoes With my saddle by my side I'll rope a train and ride And leave behind those rope and saddle blues A slave to nicotine I used to be But I gave away those coffin nails as easy as could be But rodeoin's different it haunts me night and day Until I'm in the saddle here is what I'll say I've got those old rope and saddle blues And pretty soon I'll be back in the news For I'm oh so sad sore I saw happy days before I got those old rope and saddle blues Been hangin' round this smoky town too long I thought I'd like it here but now I know that I was wrong I'm all fenced in by people I feel the need of scope At night I wake up dreaming that I'm hangin' to a rope I've got those old rope and saddle blues And now I know what life I'm going to choose For I'm oh so sad sore I saw happy days before I got those old rope and saddle blues I've got those old rope and saddle blues
