Put on your white sombrero Saddle your horse my dear And ride off into the sunset You'd better go For there is no Place for you here Like and old fashioned hero You stand before me You think our life is a movie My world is real I live and feel And I can do without you Put on your white sombrero Your red bandana too Think of this day as a showdown Goodbye my friend This is the end For me and you Now be a bold vacquero Don't show your feelings I'll cry while you're disappearing Into the night All dressed in white Unchained and free without me Put on your white sombrero Like all the cowboys do Go find a sweet senorita Somebody meek Who'll never speak Harshly to you You're such a cavaliero Proud, never bending I want someone who will take me Just as I am I need a man Who is in rhyme With his time You'll never take me Just as I am I need a man Who is in rhyme With his time
