I think I got that from Gene's autobiography some 25 years ago, but don't hold me to it. Art Thieme |

From Gene Autry's De Luxe Edition of Famous Original Cowboy Songs and Mountain Ballads (Chicago: M.M. Cole Publishing Co., 1938). |

08 Aug 06 - 12:13 AM (#1804117) Subject: ADD: Ridin' Down the Canyon From: Joe Offer I guess I'm most familiar with this song from the Willie Nelson recording. For the record, here are the lyrics from arlo.net Ridin' Down the Canyon by Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains And there's nothing left to do but lay around I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down CHORUS: White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standing all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down A picture that no artist e'er could paint Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side I hear a coyote calling to its mate CHORUS When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains And there's nothing left to do but lay around I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down CHORUS ©1936 Duchess Music Corp., (BMI) adm. by MCA Music Publishing (renewed) And the chords from Cowboylyrics.com

08 Aug 06 - 12:39 AM (#1804126) Subject: RE: Lyr/chords/tabs: ridin' down the canyon From: Goose Gander One correction: the second line of the chorus from the Gene Autry songbook should have read 'A picture that no artist ere could paint' No apostrophes in that "ere" so I don't know if it's a shortened form of "here" or "ever". Both would work, though. I believe the song was in the movie Tumbing Tumbleweeds (1935) |
