{Verse 1}
Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight
Are you roundin' up the dogies
Or the strays of long ago
Are you on the trail of buffalo
{Verse 2}
Empty saddles in the old corral
Where do you ride tonight
Are there rustlers on the boarder
Or a band of Navajo
Are you headed for the Alamo
{Chorus}
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do walk tonight
Empty guns covered with rust
Where do you talk tonight
{Chorus Reprise}
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do walk tonight
Empty guns covered with rust
Where do you talk tonight
{Verse 3}
Empty saddles in the old corrals
My tears would be dry tonight
If you'd only say you're lonely
As you carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral
