Lyrics
Down in the wide open valley
Was where he met his gentle lady
And she made the heart of that cowboy
Take to flight like a bird
At summer's end his girl
Took the train to her city world
And she promised she'd return
When the spring came to the valley
Worn holes in them old boots
He caught a case of the saddle blues
Love had torn his heart in two
Like the stream that cuts through the valley
When the sun came back to the valley
With the trains and folks from the city
He tore the letter that she wrote him
Saying she ain't coming back
Worn holes in them old boots
He caught a case of the saddle blues
Love had torn his heart in two
Like the stream that cut through the valle
