Lyrics
I’ve been roundin’ up the long lost dogies
Out on the lone prairee
Now I’m headin’ for my ranch house heaven
Where she waits for me
Chorus
I’m a-singin’ in the saddle
Singin’ all the way
For the round-up is over today
I’m a-singin’ in the saddle
To the stars above
I’m a-headin’ for heaven and love
To the rhythm of the hoofs I’m a-hummin’
Get along, get along Old Pal
There’s a praree gal who knows I’m a-comin’
Waitin’ beside the Old Corral
I’m a-singin’ in the saddle
Guide me from above
I’m a-headin’ for heaven and love
Singin’ (hum) in the saddle
