There's something strange in the old corral
There's a breeze, though the wind has died
Though I'm alone in the old corral
Seems there is someone by my side

Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight?
Are ya roundin' up the dogies
The strays of long ago
Are you on the trail of buffalo?

Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight?
Are there rustlers on the border
Or a band of Navajo
Are ya headin' for the Alamo?

Empty guns covеred with rust
Where do you talk tonight?
Empty boots covеred with dust
Where do you walk tonight?

Empty saddles in the old corral
My tears would be dry tonight
If you'll only say I'm lonely
As you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral
Empty guns covered with rust
Where do you talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with rust
Where do you walk tonight?

Empty saddles in the old corral
My tears would be dry tonight
If you'll only say I'm lonely
As you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral
