The Old Grey Mare Lyrics - Yarabata Ridge

Well my pappa said to me Someday you'll ride the range 

You'll be a southern cowboy In a small town in Mexico 

You'll find the women drink the whiskey 

Meet the gamblers in a small town in Mexico 

The old grey mare is standin' The way he did for me 

You'll have to take him for a ride Then set him free 

Gamblin' man 

He said think of me as time goes by 

As you'll do the things I done 

Women,whiskey,gamblin' in a small town in Mexico 

Ride out with nothin' You know you can loose 

A gambler can never quit They know that they can't choose 

The old grey mare is standin' The way he did for me 

You'll have to take him for a ride Then set him free 

Gamblin' man 

The life of a gambler is the life for me 

I even met some in the loosers lounge tryin' to be free 

The tide of time is fallin' The words my pappa said 

I remember oh so well As they keep ringin' in my head 

The old grey mare is standin' The way he did for me 

You'll have to take him for a ride Then set him free 

Gamblin' man 

Well my pappa said to me Someday you'll ride the range 

You'll be a southern cowboy in a small town in Mexiclo 

You'll find the women drink the whiskey 

Meet the gamblers in a small town in Mexico 

The old grey mare is standin' The way he did for me 

You'll have to take him for a ride Then set him free 

Gamblin' man
