full of heartaches and sighs,
All with something to make me feel blue.
For I just lost a pal, like a brother to me,
Seems I can't believe that is true
We were old pals on the prairie
Many times we have rode side by side
Never dreaming a bronco would throw him
And Pete Knight would take his last ride,
Many times he had spurred his old high,
But when he left the shoe,
That's when Pete took his last ride,
He still remains King of the Cowboys.
Many times he has won worldwide fame,
And the millions of people who knew him,
They all idolized Pete Knight's name
It was only last fall that we parted so gay
His handshake I'll always recall
When he said so long, pal,
I'll see you the next coming fall
But now I stand head bowed in si lence
While a teardrop it falls unashamed
We'll miss him a lot since he left us
But old memories will always remain
Oh, someday there'll be a
When the ranch boss starts
May our names all be squared on the tally
May we meet on that heavenly range.
