Lyrics:
One stormy day me and my buddyStarted on a roundup rideThe wind and dust blew hard around usMy buddy strayed far from my side.[CHORUS] We were buddies in the saddleWe were buddies in our homeWe were buddies herding cattleWe were buddies everywhere we roamed.I'll ne'er forget the day I found himHe was so weak he could not speakI'll ne're forget the smile he gave meThen the poor boy fell asleep.I took him up in my saddleAnd carried him home across the plainMy mother nursed him every momentTo try to make him well again.[CHORUS]I never had a pal so near meHe took the blame for everythingI'd die for him just any momentAnd for me he'd do the same.But now my buddy's gone and left meAnd it's so hard to struggle onSo hard to believe that he has left meI can't realize that he has gone.[CHORUS]
