(The Canadian River waltz)

(C) Its quiet this evening
On the old (Em) candian
As (F) I ride down (C) the canyon (G) alone
I'm (C) lonely but (Em) free
Just (F) my pony and (C) me
And the river is (G) singin a (C) song
G C G 
(C) Theres plenty of rain
The grass is growin (Em) tall
The (F) river is (C) rollin (G) along
The (C) cattle are (Em) fat
The (F) calves lookin (C) good
Just layin round (G) waitin till (C) fall
G C G 
(C) As I ride out
On the point of a (Em) mesa
And (F) survey all the (C) beauty (G) below
An (C) eagle screams (Em) down
To (F) his friends on the (C) ground
Its time to be (G) beddin (C) down

(C) That ol' setting sun
Its colors on the (Em) mesa
And (F) on the river (C) canyon (G) wall
>From (C) somewhere far (Em) away
A (F) coyote calls its (C) mate
Its time to be (G) headin (C) home

(C) The moons shinin bright
On the old (Em) canadian
As I (F) jog down the (C) canyon for (G) home

A cowboy at (G) peace with the (C) world
