ABBA - Put On Your White Sombrero Lyrics






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 an old fashoned 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 vaquero
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 comboys do
Go find a sweet senorita
Somebody meek
Who'll never speak
Harshly to you
You're such a caballero
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

ABBA Put On Your White Sombrero Comments
  1. W.... N....

    I could see the Mexicans having a twirl on this number ....Ole !

  2. G.... F....

    I love this song. Apparently it was intended to be on "Super Trooper" but Bjorn &; Benny decided they hadn't got it exactly right & to leave it unreleased. I reckon they thought it was too empowering for women!! The only ABBA song where the girls get to ditch the man!

  3. T.... B....

    Beatiful

  4. �.... 2....

    Лучший вокал!!!

  5. F.... A....

    Why have I never heard this before?

  6. P.... K....

    Has the sounds of Cassandra a flip side of another song

  7. R.... C....

    I love ABBA.

  8. M.... S....

    Benny & Bjorn were second to none as a songwriting team (in any genre). Here they capture the Mexican flavour beautifully and, as always, the ladies' vocals are stunning.

  9. t.... l....

    What a beautiful song,love it and can't wait for the new Music in 2020 from ABBA....

  10. B.... R....

    Cool ! Abba had many Spanish inspired tunes. 🤘😎

  11. H.... W....

    I like how this slide show attempts to make it look like they're singing due to the picture sequence.

    H.... W....

    Thanks, it was a lot of hard work, but worth it I think! Dixie

  12. l.... m....

    Frida, la vera artista degli Abba.

  13. W.... V....

    I love the close harmonies of Frida and Agnetha in this one. One of ABBA's lesser hits

  14. R.... R....

    amada frida..

  15. E.... E....

    This song is so moving....I actually cried after hearing it...even after so many times. How can a band do that to me? Snif snif! ...ok I admit it. I get weak on my knees when ABBA songs are played. I cant help it. They have this hold on me that I can shake loose. I get transported into a different higher dimension everytime I hear their songs.

  16. j.... f....

    Frida con todos los huevos de su voz podría cantaras rancheras,ella es perfecta

  17. D.... R....

    Bravo !  Bravo !!   Bravo !!!

  18. S.... R....

    Superbes photos pour une chanson superbe

  19. M.... E....

    HERMOSA CANCION , DE ESTE GRUPO, EN LA VOZ DE FRIDA, Y ACOMPAÑADA DE AGNETHA , TODA CANCION , DE ESTE GRUPO , SENCILLA Y EMOTIVO

  20. D.... V....

    Prachtig

  21. E.... D....

    And at 2.45 the girls are loose.. 😅 Perfect harmonies.

  22. E.... D....

    The vocals of Frida and Agnetha never blended better than in this song, A true ABBA song, classic, warm, fulfilling.

  23. M.... R....

    But the truth is that many can copy Fridas voice but very few can copy Agnethas voice

  24. H.... B....

    Abba goes wild west

  25. S.... K....

    59 people must be dead

  26. w.... ....

    The only ABBA song that was in 3/4 time.

    w.... ....

    Correction. Cassandra is also in in 3/4

    w.... ....

    Correction to my correction. Cassandra was in common time with change ups to 6/8 for the chorus.

  27. R.... F....

    An absolutely amazing song.

  28. P.... R....

    VIVA. LOS. HERMANOS. MEXICANOS. VIVA. BRASIL. VIVA. ABBA. !!!

  29. A.... R....

    What would be the correct fingering for playing the intro melody (the consecutive, rising and falling thirds), on a keyboard? Does it take two hands? I tried various methods with one hand but they are all rather clumsy.

  30. J.... F....

    I like Frida more than Agnetha and i am realy happy that is new song

  31. S.... N....

    Jag glömmer aldrig ABBA, som gav mig glädge att sjunga. Tack för allt ni gav mig.

  32. P.... R....

    HELLO. MUNDO. ALGUEM. OUVINDO. 2019 ,??

  33. E.... E....

    Frida's Vocal shone like the sun here! When they raised the key at the 3rd chorus with Agnetha's powerful Soprano, it further lifted Frida's vocal even more. ABBA.... you are beyond belief!

    E.... E....

    I highly recommend reading:
    ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows
    By Carl Magnus Palm
    and
    ABBA: The Complete Recording Sessions
    also by Carl.
    Benny & Bjorn opened up the ABBA recordings for Carl. The only person in the world that has heard the ABBA recordings.

    Carl is the world's leading ABBA historian.

    Regarding the vocal abilities of the girls. That is in the book. Both great, but Frida's vocal abilities get lots of attention. She first got noticed in grade school.

    Benny and Bjorn leaned heavily on her in studio and particularly in live shows. Frida loved the stage and also a great live singer.
    Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow (ABBA's engineer) considered Frida a master vocalist as well as other musicians that have worked with her. She has total control over her instrument. Always in proper key and on pitch. Kenn sense of pitch.

    Michael discribes Agnetha voice as "punchy". Michael describes Frida voice as "high-fidelity".

    Agnetha came to ABBA as a pop studio star, with some stage experience, but very little. She was known as a pop star. First pop song hit, at 18, her own composition.

    Frida came to ABBA with over 10 years as a pro on stage (58-70's) and TV show gig's (67-71) She had a stellar reputation among musicians since grade school. Swept all the talent hunts. First stage performance in 1956, charity event. Turned pro at 13, 1958. Major Best Vocalist award 1964. National Best Vocalist winner 1967.

    Agnetha was raised in a loving, middle class family environment. Father was musical performer. Had siblings. Happy childhood.

    Frida's was a poor, lonely, and a virtual orphan. Taken from Norway by her grandmother at age 2 to Sweden to escape any reprisals for being a "war baby". Frida was the offspring (Nov 1945) of a German soldier and a Norweigan girl. Conceived Feb 1945. Frida was a "war child" that had a lost childhood. Sang as a child to escape her sadness.

  38. P.... R....

    FRIDA. AGNETHA. GATAS.

  39. P.... R....

    ABBA. FEZ. FAZ. E. CONTINUARA. FAZENDO. SUCESSO

  40. h.... a....

    Esta canción la escuché por primera vez en 2017, aunque he escuchado a A𐐒BA desde mi niñez en los años 70´s. Me gusta esta canción especialmente desde el tiempo 2. 45 pués se siente allí la magia de la combinación de las voces de Agnetha y Frida ( sin igual con respecto a otros duos femeninos).

  41. J.... V....

    Simply Outstanding and Everything about it! ABBA is truly genious and the ABBA girls are amazing with Frida and her powerful Beautiful voice! This awesome ABBA pop group was the best, hands down..
    They and their great inspiring Musica, will be played forever!! 2019 is Reunion time!!

  42. G.... E....

    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 an old fashioned hero
    You stand before me
    Oh, you think our life is a movie
    My world is real I live and feel
    And I can do without you

    [Interlude]

    Put on your white sombrero
    Your red bandanna too
    Think of this day as a showdown
    Goodbye my friend, this is the end
    For me and you

    Now be a bold vaquero
    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 señorita
    Somebody meek, who'll never speak
    Harshly to you

    You're such a caballero
    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

    Oh, you'll never take me
    Just as I am, I need a man

    Beautiful

    M.... L....

    Mariza Levandovski Thank you from USA

  44. W.... J....

    OMG.  Where oh where are the song writers and performers today?  They certainly cannot compare with Agnetha - timing, phrasing, composure, tone, just about everything required in making a statement with a melody.  Such grace!

  45. J.... R....

    HERMOSA CANCION DE ABBA EN LA VOSZ DE FRIDA ME GUSTA MUCHO

  46. j.... p....

    Splendide !! et la voix d'Agnetha au 3e couplet est tout simplement grandiose

  47. s.... s....

    Sou brasileiro. amo ABBA, Sinto o ABBA na alma, melodias, arranjos, harmonias, criatividades são as melhores criações musicais na minha opinião. Um abraço de um brasileiro apaixonado pelo ABBA. Volta ABBA , por favor.

  48. h.... a....

    wonderful song

  49. A.... R....

    Que lindas melodías son fuera de series sin duda alguna hermoso tema.

  50. S.... E....

    A somewhat sad and bitter but still a very nice Abba song.

  51. J.... G....

    👀 good.frida. This is your time to shine

    J.... G....

    Abba is always live love you Agnetha

    J.... G....

    Bitch you’re such a dumbass

    J.... G....

    You’re totally right

  52. P.... W....

    Why wasn't this a released song? Shouldn't been a hit

  53. T.... M....

    Thank you for uploading- another immortal song !

  54. h.... �....

    If they had released this song translated and with a real Mariachi arrangement in México they would have had A CLASSIC!

    h.... �....

    hoemogenic இ
    And they could’ve added this to their Spanish career as well, on Gracias Por La Musique ( I definitely spelled that wrong )

    h.... �....

    It is still a classic !

  55. �.... �....

    I never heard this song before. What is the year?

    �.... �....

    Normally for the albun "Super trouper" but not edit album original just in CD album after 2000

    �.... �....

    Илья Афонников written in 1980/81

  56. s.... s....

    Maravilhoso demais!!!

  57. M.... ....

    Frida and Agnetha's vocals are just brilliant -  the best harmonies in the business.  No-one can even come close to these girls!

    M.... ....

    MAV
    I agree with you... but I think sometimes Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson of The B52s did come close... listen to Topaz. And Roam. Different style of music, but a beautiful and powerful combination.

  58. �.... �....

    Ах! Эти хладнокровные шведские чертовки!

  59. p.... ....

    Just heard this for 1st time this week and it really sticks in my head. One of Frida's "tour de force" vocals. I hope they put this on the Avatar show in Dec. I can see her singing this to Benny!

    p.... ....

    Me too. I want this in their new album

  60. v.... l....

    danke dixie, ich habe nie kenengelernt dieses wunderbares song

  61. F.... H....

    One of their best songs.
    I have no idea why it has never been released on any album.
    I love this song, sung by one of the most beautiful voices ever.
    I adore Frida.

  62. A.... W....

    Good song and nicely put together video. U have talent! Thank u for this treat!

    A.... W....

    Aileen Wagner thank you!!!!

  63. f.... 1....

    Quiet simple...abba were masters of pop music. .no one will ever compare..the harmonies are sublime. .the Beatles could fuck off...

  64. A.... D....

    Put On Your White Sombrero is a beautiful song this would have sounded awesome had ABBA recorded it in Spanish and you can hear the Spanish sound in the music parts of this song were re-used in Cassandra in 1982.

  65. d.... k....

    Thankyou You Tube!!

  66. S.... K....

    Anni-frid has an amazing voice and then combined with Agnetha omg sublime

  67. C.... R....

    Absolutely amazing harmony on the voices.

  68. R.... M....

    Que musica linda!!!!! Mais uma.... esse grupo é incrível.

  69. j.... m....

    Put you your white sombero, is an outstading song, among the very best of Abba. Why it was never put out as an A side record beggars belief.

  70. p.... r....

    Friday voice is super.

  71. M.... A....

    I think Super Trouper was favoured for release over this track and this was shelved.  Personally, I would have released them both, it's absolut bliss!!!!ABBA forever and always xxxx

  72. S.... N....

    Älskar er alla- bra fortsättning för er - Hälsningar åt er alla :)

  73. S.... N....

    I love ABBA. Miss you forever. Over 45 years fan.

  74. h.... a....

    ᗅᗺᗷᗅ

  75. C.... H....

    Is there a live video of this song. I love it.

    C.... H....

    Carol Hackman sadly i don't think so !!

    C.... H....

    Francois Gauthier such a shame they didn’t make one.

  76. S.... N....

    I love ABBA forever as long as I live. I`ve    been a fan over 40 years.

  77. A.... H....

    I love the little musical links they put into their songs, eg, the one here at 1.35. Those guys were the true masters of pop melody. Nobody has bettered them for consistent pop tunesmithery. Truly an amazing phenomenon.

  78. N.... S....

    Love it

  79. U.... J....

    I like so much this song.

  80. a.... c....

    Hay una canción similar interpretada en la película "El Zorro" con Tyrone Power .

  81. S.... N....

    I miss ABBA, Agnetha Björn. Benny, Annifrid. Greetings from Finland. Jag älskar er hela mitt liv :)

  82. C.... H....

    Love Frida’s voice here! Good song!

  83. M.... H....

    I LOVE YOU ABBA...milanio

  84. M.... H....

    Hello Everyone here,I have to contribute, too, and I write that Anni-Frid is a divine being, and together with his group ABBA and with colleagues are just beautiful and for me the best music group that I already know from her - you can tell school years - I grew up on them, and accompany me to their sklatby and arrangements of my entire life ....faithful subscriber and listener Milan Halfar Prague 4 Lhotka.

  85. M.... H....

    Ahojte Všichni tady,musím přispět taky a píši že Anni-Frid je božská bytost a společně se svou skupinou ABBA a s kolegy jsou prostě krásný a u mně nejlepší hudební skupina kterou už znám od svých - dá se říct školních let - vyrůstal jsem na ,,nich,, a doprovázejí mně jejich sklatby a aranže celým mým životem ....věrný odběratel a posluchač Milan Halfar Praha 4 Lhotka.

  86. C.... A....

    Agree about Frida, she‘s really good here. Later part of the song is more Abba‘ish than the beginning which has maybe a little to much synts. My guess is that that is what killed it. But I’m sorry for Frida she could not have on the record.

  87. Z.... G....

    Wonderfullllll. 😊 Thanks

  88. �.... p....

    great great song by ABBA ! another one !!!

  89. J.... A....

    O grave da Frida é perfeito! 👏👏

  90. R.... W....

    Why all the Spanish songs?

  91. P.... M....

    OMG, so cool, just discovered. Nordic princess sings of southwestern cowboys!

  92. D.... D....

    Beautiful Song!

  93. p.... ....

    I don't know why they left this off the album, its better than some of the other songs they left in.....

  94. K.... L....

    My favorite ABBa song ! I bow down to Frida's talent.

    K.... L....

    It's amazing

  95. L.... K....

    melodics melody and overall structure. fkn beautiful

  96. K.... ....

    What a fantastic song !!! Love it!

    K.... ....

    Great song!ABBA forever!

  97. s.... z....

    This song has a fantastic blending of the girls voices starting around 2:09. But that incredible ABBA sound not only soars at 2:45 but the overdubbing has their own vocals being backed by themselves singing a different chores while it too is sang in harmony. Kudos to Michael Trebow the sound master engineer

  98. k.... ....

    if there is one fault Benny and Bjourn had it's that they were way to critical of their music, so many brilliant masterpieces left scrapped because they didn't like it for some reason while all their fans adore them. After all that's who the songs are for.

    k.... ....

    You are so right!!!

    k.... ....

    They released Dum Dum Diddle but not this one here. I have no words. One of their worst decisions...

  99. X.... ....

    Piekny utwor i niezwykle wykonanie. Abba, to Abba.
