What makes a man to wander, what makes a man to roam
What makes a man leave bed and board, and turn his back on home
Ride away (Ride away) ride away (ride away) *both* Ride Away
A man will search for fortune, of silver and of gold
The silver he finds in his hair while an achin' heart grows cold
Ride away (Ride away) ride away (ride away) *both* Ride Away
Now me I go on searchin' for where their ain't no hate
For a tender love I'm dreamin' of before it gets to late
Ride away (Ride away) ride away (ride away) *both* Ride Away
Ride Away, Ride Away, Ride Away, Ride Away
