[Verse 1]
Rita where have you gone
I ve been missing you for far too long
I feel so blue haven t you heard
I am the lonesome rider hear the lonesome rider s call home
[Refrain]
Just feel all the love I m giving you
I m back from the war I ve been missing you
where have you gone my baby blue
I m here all alone I ve been bleeding too
[Bridge]
The dark reaper led the cowboy ahead into his final sunset
the dawn soon to come a cold wind will blow
he s on his way home
my love never will we be apart
and we ll feel the sadness peeling from our fate
the day has now come where we belong together again
farewell so long
