Текст песни Ian Tyson — Elko Blues + аккорды для гитары
Вступление [Verse] F When I ride the roan mare I'm free F Bb When I ride the roan mare boys I'm free F Bb When I lie awake and sleep won't come cause my babies are gone F C F You know the night closes in on me F When I ride the bay stud I'm free F Bb When I ride the bay stud boys I'm free F Bb When the mamas bawl in the weaning time cause my babies are gone F C F You know the world closes in on me F I believe I'm going back to Elko town F Bb I believe I'm going back to Elko town F Bb I'll be standing pat in a brand new hat with my money in my hand F C F Hope that my old friends come around F When I die, let me go naturally F Bb When I die, I want to go naturally F Because I've travelled this world as a free man Bb One thing I ask of you F C F Don't let them put no tubes in me.
