                           F
When I ride the roan mare  I'm free

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

When I die, let me go naturally

Because I've travelled this world as a free man

One thing I ask of you

Don't let them put no tubes in me.
