Down in Rainbow Valley
Where the stars shine brighter, and hearts are lighter That?s where I long to be
Where my darling Sally waits down in the Valley, so patiently for me Yes I?m heading for Rainbow Valley, long the old Chisolm Trail To a sweet little shack that keeps calling me back Down in Rainbow Valley.
DON?T CRY MY LITTLE DARLIN?
1ST VERSE
Tonight I watched the moon rising over the hill and my heart was so lonely and blue I though I saw a tear drop upon her cheek and I knew she was lonely too
REFRAIN
Don?t cry my little darling for I'll soon be home again and together we'll go riding ?cross the Okla. Hills We will stop down by the river as we did in days gone by and I?ll never leave you darling, ?till the day I die.
2ND VERSE
Tomorrow I?ll mount my faithful old ?Paint? and I'll head for the West again I?ll count every step as I ride on my way ?till I?m back in your arms once again
REPEAT REFRAIN.
TUMBLEWEED
I am a restless as a tumbleweed, that rolls across the Western plains But I ain?t like that tumbleweed ?cause I?ll be riding back again I miss the how l of the coyote at dusk behind the old corral But I ain't worried about this howling. I hate to leave my darlin? Sal But my feet keep itching for ramblin? ?round, but my heart keeps saying Cowboy settle down
Still like a restless tumbleweed. I ride across the rolling plains But I ain't like that tumbleweed, ?cause I?ll be riding? back again.
DUST OFF MY SADDLE
Dust off my saddle, for I'll soon be on my way
Headed for that ranch house in the sky
I?ll pick up all the doggies, as I ride across the blue
Headed for that ranch house in the sky
I?ll wanna stop down by the old corral again
Good-bye. it?s hard to say, but I'll soon be on my way
Headed for the ranch house in the sky
I?m gonna pack my saddle bags with a million memories
