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 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
