Rider On The Rim Recorded by Red Steagall Written by R.W. Hampton and Red Steagall
G C G On the wagon last October was a kid of seventeen D7 A city kid from Dallas wet behind the ears and green G C G He stepped out of the pages of a western catalog D7 G Not the kind you'd pick to ride the rivers and the boggs
C The boss had threw this kid and me together for the drive G D7 We took the outside circle I was mad and full of fight C It ain't no place for tender feet cause where we had to go G D7 Was through the hills and badlands where the twisted cedars grow
G C G This kid had drawn a snaky bronc plum full of dirty tricks D7 Well I'll give the kid his credit boys he stayed and took his licks G C G Cause every time he got throwed off he'd step back on again D7 G We wondered how much practicin' this city boy could stand
C At the head of an arroyo where the tamaracks grow tall G D7 I sent the kid a driftin' north to ride out Deadmans Draw C The country's pretty open and the draw ain't very deep G D7 So I took Blackhole Canyon where the bluffs are high and steep
G It was misty in the canyon the light was sorta dim
Through the mist I saw a ghostly rider on the rim D7 He waved his hat and motioned to go back the way I come G And when the mist had cleared away the ghostly form was gone
C G I turned my horse around headed back to Deadmans Draw D7 I knowed the kids in trouble I could feel it in my crawl G C G From the trail of broken cedars and the deep tracks in the sand D7 G The gray was using all his tricks the kid had made a hand
C But up beneath a cut-bank where the trail is slick and steep G D7 The gray lay thrashin' on his side the kid lay underneath C His foot run thru the stirrup holdin' to the horses head G D7 He knew that if the gray got up he'd soon be drug to death
G C G The kid was tired and gettin' weak the horse was gainin' ground D7 I slipped my gut-line round his neck the kid got turned around G C G So's he was in the saddle when the horse got to his feet D7 G Then we rode out together but we didn't hardly speak
C A dozen times I've ridden out along the canyon rim G D7 There ain't no tracks and I ain't seen that ghostly form again C I don't really care if you believe a word I say G D7 But a cowboy guardian angel helped me save the kid that day
G It was misty in the canyon the light was kinda dim
Thru the mist I saw a ghostly rider on the rim D7 If I live to be a hundred I will not forget the day G When a cowboy guardian angel taught two punchers how to pray
