Dm F C F
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
F                            Dm
Old William said, many years ago
F                   Bb
I won't live a usual life
F                            Dm
Oh no, I won't wear the union suit
F                     Bb
And no one will be my wife
           F                    
But I will find love near and far, 
               Dm
wherever I may go
               F
And I'll bring roses and lilies to their doors
                 Dm
And have a son I don't know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb                                     F
It's a wicked world when you're all alone
       Bb                   F
It's a wicked and mean old place
          Bb          F         C     F
Take your saddle and horse and ride away
 
Dm F C F
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                                 
There's followers and leaders and 
             Dm
battle weary heroes
F                Bb
And I am none of them
         F                         Dm
When I arrived I might have been a drinker
F                        Bb
But I was longing for a friend
      F                                 
I'm a rider, ranging these far out hills, 
              Dm
lonely and so wild
F                           
So wild, I've lived for free, 
                    Dm
and out here I will die
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb                                     F
It's a wicked world when you're all alone
       Bb                   F
It's a wicked and mean old place
          Bb          F         C     F
Take your saddle and horse and ride away
 
Dm F C F Bb F C F
Dm F C F
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                         Dm     
I'll be dead the next few years, 
F           Bb
not in some old home
F                           Dm
Out alone on the back of old Dan
         F              Bb
And I hope for a quick blow
F                              
And the one son I leave behind, 
                Dm
he will find no will
      F
I believe in the natural way of man
F                 Dm
Oh kill or he be killed
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb                                     F
It's a wicked world when you're all alone
       Bb                   F
It's a wicked and mean old place
          Bb          F         C     F
Take your saddle and horse and ride away
          Bb          F         C     F
Take your saddle and horse and ride away
          Bb          F         C     F
Take your saddle and horse and ride away
