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
Reaper where have you gone see the lonesome rider carry on his pain so blue haven't you heard he is the lonesome rider it's 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 bleeding too
Reaper please take him home he's been wandering for far too long he feels so blue haven't you heard he is the lonesome rider it's 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 bleeding too
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 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
Rita I'm not alone I can see you waiting in the doorway of our little cabin home I feel so new haven't you heard I was the lonesome rider and the lonesome rider is 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 bleeding too
