Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bm D/A | Bm D/A | Bm D/A |

[Verse 1]
Bm D/A     D
      They call me a drifter,
they say I'm no good
                       Bm
I'll never amount to a thing
       D
Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good
There's joy in this song that I sing

[Chorus]
       Bm            D
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
       Bm                       Em
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
       D             Bm
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

[Verse 2]
   D
At night I will rest 'neath a blanket of blue
                     Bm
Doubt if I ever will change
  D
I might even dream of a lady I knew
Might even whisper her name

[Chorus]
       Bm            D
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
       Bm                       Em
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
       D
Saddle tramp

[Bridge]
D7  G                     D
  I might even wind up in Idaho
    A7                  D
And visit a cute little miss
  G                      D
A sweet little someone I used to know
      E7                         A
And I might even stop long enough for a kiss

[Chorus]
       Bm            D
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
       Bm                       Em
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
       D             Bm
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

[Verse 3]
D
Might even ride back through Phoenix someday
                     Bm
Might even stop for awhile
    D
But branded,
no never! I'll not be tied down
             G           D
Trapped by a fair lady's smile

[Chorus]
       Bm            D
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
       Bm                       Em
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
       D
Saddle tramp!
