Way Out There

A lonely spot I know where no man will go

Where the shadows have all the room

I was riding free on the old S.P.

Humming a southern tune,

When a man came along, made me hush my song, kicked me off away out there,

Ohh - yo -dl - ay - dee - ohh - ay

Ohh - ay - hoo ohh o - dl - ay - dee - ohh - way ohh - way hoo.

Well I set down my load in the desert road, rested my weary legs,

As I watched the setting sun make the tall shadows run

Out across the barren plains. Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon; she gets lonesome way out there,

Ohh - ay - hoo ohh o - dl - ay - dee - ohh - way ohh - way hoo.

Well I closed my eyes to the starlit skies, lost myself in dreams.

And I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land

And then I awoke with a start.

There was a train coming back on the one way track, gonna carry me away from here,

Ohh - yo -dl - ay - dee - ohh - ay

Ohh - ay - hoo ohh o - dl - ay - dee - ohh - way ohh - way hoo.

As she passed me by I caught her on the fly, climbed in an open door.

I looked around and saw the desert ground, to the spot I would see no more,

As I was riding away I heard that pale moon say,

"So long, pal, it sure gets lonesome here."

Ohh - yo -dl - ay - dee - ohh - ay

Ohh - ay - hoo ohh o - dl - ay - dee - ohh - way ohh - way hoo.
