I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the long-horn cattle feed
On the lowly jimson weed
I'm back in the saddle again.

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old forty-four
Where you sleep out every night
Where the only law is right
I'm back in the saddle again.

   Whoop-pi-ti-yi-yo
   Rockin' to and fro
   Back in the saddle again
   Whoop-pi-ti-yi-yay
   I go my own way
   Back in the saddle again.
