10 Mar 00 - 03:31 PM (#193177) Subject: A Bridle Hanging On The Wall From: angel I'm looking for lyrics to a song titled "A Bridle Hanging On The Wall." Sung by Wilf Carter and then recorded by Carson Robison and his pioneers in 1978 at Glendale Records - the album is called "Immortal Carson Robison". I don't know if it is considered Country Western or Folk Music. Thanks for any help you can give, Angel |

There's a bridle hangin' on the wall,
There's a horseshoe nailed above the door.
With that pony for my guide, I used to ride down the trail,
And his bridle's hangin' on the wall. |

Can't give you the second line because for as long as I can remember I followed it (silently) with "Und mein Pony haengt gleich nebenan." I've never been partial to tearjerkers! |

05 Nov 04 - 09:07 PM (#1318456) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Bridle Hanging on the Wall From: Jim Dixon I listened to the recording at the Record Lady's site, and Frank Maher's transcription, posted above, is perfect as far as it goes, but Frank omitted the spoken part that comes after the last verse: Well, I know you folks think I'm crazy, but I don't care what you say. If you'd ever had a pal like him, you'd know why I'm grievin' this way. Well, we rambled the prairie together for over seventeen years. A man never had a more faithful friend. Oh, I'm--I'm not ashamed of my tears. A faithful friend? Say, listen: He woke me up one night When he heard a noise on the prairie. He knew what it was all right: A stampede headin' right towards us, and he saw what he had to do. But he run till he dropped, and he saved my life. I call that a friend. Don't you? [Then the last verse is sung again.] |

In 1938, when I was 4, I sang this song to my grandfather who cried remembering Sam and Prince, his team of horses that he had to put down. I remembered most of the words, but now I have them all. Again, thanks. Angel must be Canadian because of the way the date was written (Day before month) |

18 Sep 10 - 06:19 PM (#2989410) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Bridle Hanging on the Wall From: GUEST,Coen In South Africa one of the official languages, "Afrikaans" (from the Dutch) is the most spoken. When I was a kid, my father - a farmer and great horseman - often sang this song to me. He actually lost his faithful "President" and the bridle and saddle were still hanging in the stable for many years afterwards. In recent years a local Afrikaans singer, Dozi, rerecorded this song that was originally translated and sung by Chris Blignault way back then. Memories of the heart! Daars 'n saal wat hang daar aan die muur (Theres a saddle hanging on the wall) Dis die saal van my getroue ou dier (Its the saddle of my faithful old animal) Jy vra my waarom is my hart so seer (You ask me why my heart is aching) Dis die saal wat hang daar aan die muur Its the saddle hanging on the wall) Why they preferred to use "saal" (saddle)in stead of "toom" (bridle) is unknown. Is there someone who still remembers the Afrikaans version? |

20 Sep 10 - 12:46 PM (#2990345) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Bridle Hanging on the Wall From: GUEST,Peter Laban That one goes back a long way, my mother used to sing snatches of a Dutch version that was quite popular from the late forties and during the fifties. Er hangt een paardenhoofdstel aan de muur Er hangt een paardenhoofdstel aan de muur En een zadel in een lege schuur Je vraagt waarom ik zo droevig tuur Het is dat paardenhoofdstel aan de muur Ik zie ook het ijzer wat ik daar op sloeg Het is het ijzer dat mijn pony droeg Een vale deken in de schuur En een paardenhoofdstel aan de muur Hij was mijn trouwe vriend en gids We waren steeds bij elkaar Vaak in de stille nacht Ik sprak hem mijn vreugd' en smart Hij hief begrijpend zijn kop Er is nu een lege plek in mijn hart En zijn hoofdstel hangt nu aan de muur En zijn zadel doelloos in de schuur Ach vriend ik ben wat overstuur Het is dat paardenhoofdstel aan de muur Ik weet dat jullie denken dat ik gek ben, maar ik schaam me niet voor mijn tranen. Als jullie ooit een vriend hadden gehad zoals ik, dan zou je weten waarom ik nu zo droef ben. Een vriend, luister maar eens: Hij maakte me eens wakker toen hij een lawaai op de prairie hoorde, hij wist heel goed wat dat betekende, een kudde dieren rende recht op ons af maar hij kwam snel naar me toe en redde mijn leven. Dat noem ik een vriend of niet? En zijn hoofdstel hangt nu aan de muur En zijn zadel doelloos in de schuur Ach vriend ik ben wat overstuur Het is dat paardenhoofdstel aan de muur |
