Thread Name: Songs about a man's love for his horse
Subject: Lyr Add: THAT PALOMINO PAL O' MINE
THAT PALOMINO PAL O' MINE
Written by Marty Kenwood & Matt Kingsley
As sung by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers on "Lore of the West"

1. When the sun has gone to sleep for the evenin'
And the winds caress the slumberin' pine,
Then I saddle up and head for the prairie
With that palomino pal of mine.

2. That old pal of mine, he knows where I'm goin'
And I never have to give him a sign,
For there's no one in this world understands me
Like that palomino pal of mine.

BRIDGE: And as we ride, ride, ride,
We'll be leavin' all our cares along the way.
We're gonna ride, ride, ride,
Till the morning comes to bring the light of day.

3. When we hit the dusty trail to the sunset,
And we travel to the end of the line,
I'll be roundin' up my dreams way up yonder
With that palomino pal of mine.

[Repeat bridge and verse 3.]


[I find it amusing that the title says "pal o' mine" but Rogers consistently pronounces the "f" in "of."]
