I Tipped My Hat And Slowly Rode Away

I Tipped My Hat(And Slowly Rode Away) - Harry James/His Orchestra/Art Lund

I was ridin' down the trail from Santa-Fe

When I met a pretty gal along the way

I said Ain't we met before

Then she drew her forty-four

So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away

I was ridin' down the trail from Santa Fe

When I met another gal along the way

I said baby you're a dream

She said touch me and I'll scream

So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away

Rode away rode away

'Cause there was just no excuse for me to stay

Tipped my hat that was that

Yes I keep that kitty sitting where she sat

I continued down the road to Santa Fe

When I met another gal along the way

I asked are you taken too

She said partner I'll take you

So I tipped my hat and settled down to stay

Settled down settled down

How I curse the day I ever rode to town

What a lie what a lie

Ever since the day I took myself a wife

If you ever ride the trail to Santa-Fe

And you meet a pretty gal along the way

There just stop and think of me

I was happy I was free

When I tipped my hat and slowly rode away

Away away
