The Old Grey Mare

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
