Ride away, ride away, ride away.
What makes a man to wander?
What makes a man to roam?
What makes a man leave bed and board
And turn his back on home?
Ride away, ride away, ride away
Some man will search for fortune,
Of silver and of gold
The silver he finds in his hair
While a weary hart grows old
Ride away, ride away, ride away
The snow is deep and oh, so white
The winds they howl and moan
Fire cooks a man his buffalo meat
But his lonely heart won't warm
Ride away, ride away, ride away
Now me, I go on searchin'
For where there ain't no hate,
For a tender love I'm dreamin' of
Afore it gets too late.
Ride away, ride away, ride away
