lyrics

CARELESS RIDER

Come to Kentucky, The race is as good as won.
Come to Kentucky, The race is as good as won.
I can’t get to Louisville, my horse won’t walk or run.

Careless rider, the reins slipped from his hand.
Careless rider, the reins slipped from his hand.
He’ll lose her love, he just don’t understand.

His horse has bolted, must have got the itch
His horse has bolted, must have got the itch
He’s come a long way, but he’s the same distance from the ditch.

Your careless rider, he’s heading for a fall
Your careless rider, he’s heading for a fall He’s riding blind, he can’t hear the children call.

She’s ridden to the river. The river is so wide.
She’s ridden to the river. The river is so wide.
Unborn children calling from the other side.

Come to Kentucky, The race is as good as won.
Come to Kentucky, The race is as good as won.
I can’t get to Louisville, my horse won’t walk or run

I'm a careless rider, the reins slipped from my hand.
I'm a careless rider, the reins slipped from my hand.
-How I could lose your love, I just don’t understand.
