I'm a rider, I'm a rider, I'm a rider
I'm a rider but someday
I'll leave that track
Oh Rosie, Rosie, pretty Rosie
Pretty Rosie girl,
your rider's coming back
I'm a poor boy, I'm a poor boy
I'm a poor boy and I've been
too long alone
Sunrise to sundown
All that lonesome brought you home
She's a -waitin', she's a -waitin',
she's a -waitin'
Rosie is a -waitin' by the door
When I see her, when I see her,
when I see her
I'll never ride that lonesome
track no more
I'm a poor boy, I'm a poor boy
I'm a poor boy and I've been
too long alone
Sunrise to sundown
All the bad folks who
brought you home
When I left her, when I left her,
when I left her
Oh, when I left her,
I could hear her mournful sigh
Cried her heart out, cried her heart out,
cried her heart out
Cried her heart out
when I waved my last goodbye
I'm a poor boy, I'm a poor boy,
I'm a poor boy and I've been
through it all alone.
Sunrise to sundown,
on that lonesome road to home.
Oh, that lonesome road to home
