On The Rhythm Range Lyrics - Hank Snow

Written by - Bob Nolan 

Recorded by - Hank Snow 

I was born a rover on the rhythmic range 

A rootin' tootin' terror and I never will change 

I sing a tune a day and travell all of the way 

In rhythm 

Everything around me is a part of my song 

They seem to want to follow as I ramble along 

The lazy hawk in the sky is even tempted to try 

My rhythm 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

Everything is keepin' time to a sorta rhythmic rhyme 

And rhythm 

Everytime a Sunday comes a-rollin' around 

Down beside the water hole I'm sure to be found 

I'll be scrubin' and rubin' in a manner profound 

In rhythm 

Water from a thousand feet is colder than air 

I always thought the Devil kept it warmer down there 

I guess it were to his path so I'll be takin' my bath 

In rhythm 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

Everything is keepin' time to a sort of rhythmic rhyme 

And rhythm 

I asked the prairie chicken when he started to scratch 

If sandy fleas and bumble bees could hatch a better hatch 

He said the only thing found beneath this doggone ground 

Is rhythm 

He started into workin' with a pause of his head 

And then he turned around to me and here's what he said 

I ain't a-diggin' for gold but when I'm scratchin' my soul 

Got rhythm 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

On the rhythm range (On the rhythm range) 

Everything is keepin' time to a sort of rhythmic rhyme 

And rhythm
