Ride away

 

Tema de la pelicula  de John Ford  "The Searchers" (Centauros del desierto) de 1956, compuesto por Stan Jones, e interpretada por los  Sons of the Pioneers.

Letra

What makes a man to wander?

What makes a man to roam?

What makes a man leave bed and board,

and turn his back on home?

Ride away,

Ride away

Some men, they search for injuns

Or hump-backed buffalo,

And even when they found them,

They move on lonesome slow

Ride away,

Ride away,

Ride away

The snow is deep and oh so white,

The winds they howl and moan,

Fire cooks a man his buffalo meat,

But his lonely heart won't warm

Ride away,

Ride away,

Ride away

A man will search his heart and soul,

Go searching way out there,

His peace of mind he knows he'll find,

But where, oh Lord, Lord where?

Ride away,

Ride away,

Ride away...
