RIDE ON, VAQUERO
From the film "Romance Of The Rio Grande" (1929)
(Music by Abel Baer / Lyrics by L. Wolfe Gilbert)

The Light Crust Dough Boys (feat. in the film "Oh, Susanna!") - 1936


Ride on, Vaquero
The long, long trail is calling
Ride on, Vaquero
Along the Rio Grande


You'll find troubles on each trail
There'll be times when you will fail
You'll be blown by winds of chance
You'll find sorrow and romance


Ride on, Vaquero
Remember while you roam
You'll find, Vaquero
A road that leads back home


Ride on, Vaquero
The long, long trail is calling
Ride on, Vaquero
Along the Rio Grande


You'll find troubles on each trail
There'll be times when you will fail
You'll be blown by winds of chance
You'll find sorrow and romance


Ride on, Vaquero
Remember while you roam
You'll find, Vaquero
A road that leads back home
