Marty Robbins - Saddle Tramp Lyrics






They call me a drifter, they say I'm no good
I'll never amount to a thing
Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good
There's joy in this song that I sing.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.

At night I will rest 'neath a blanket of blue
Doubt if I ever will change
I might even dream of a lady I knew
Might even whisper her name

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp.

I might even wind up in Idaho
And visit a cute little miss
A sweet little someone I used to know
And I might even stop long enough for a kiss.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.

Might even ride back through Phoenix someday
Might even stop for awhile
But branded, no never! I'll not be tied down
Trapped by a fair lady's smile.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp!

  1. C.... S....

    A beautiful song for sure

  2. D.... D....

    I love Marty so much! I’m currently collecting everything I can find that has to do with him. I have an 8 track, his collectible NASCAR car, & some of his records, I even have some of the record covers in a frame hanging on my living room wall. Forever trying to keep his memory alive.
    For my birthday my boyfriend is taking me to see the Marty Robbins museum and I’m so excited

  3. C.... R....

    I'm jealous. I want to be able to ride where I please and be free as the breeze.

  4. L.... S....

    I might even stop long enough for a kiss.

  5. m.... ....

    Nothing pisses me off more than youtube videos that wont play in the backround like the other 90% that can

  6. S.... ....

    That's the idea I'm diggin.

  7. S.... B....

    87 Luke combs/Luke bryan fans disliked

    S.... B....

    87 men who were hoping to be molested by their sisters dislkiked

  8. M.... B....

    Freight train riders of America

  9. S.... H....

    I apologize if I offend any die-hard Johnny Cash fans, but Marty Robbins was the king of country

    S.... H....

    He was Western, not country.

    S.... H....

    @Blondie _ this album was Western but he was a country singer

  10. e.... d....

    I wish I could ride were I pleased :(

  11. T.... o....

    This song makes me sad. The wilderness calls to me but I’m a slave to the almighty dollar.

    T.... o....

    @Stone Block No you

    T.... o....

    @Andrew McCoy this comment is for likes

    T.... o....

    I feel the exact same way

    T.... o....

    I'm 53 and owe about 50k. I was debt free when I was 38 and owned a decent house. we upgraded and have been a slave ever since. If things go well, I'll be free again in 2 yrs. I'll never borrow a dollar again. I'd die first. I'm gonna go and hang out in the west.

    T.... o....

    @jerryw66 theres lots of land here in Nevada mina is pretty cheap last I rode through there its land you'd have to build but its desert for miles and to the original poster you are a slave to no one ever learn basic survival skills and travel the country doing odd jobs to survive but living in the wilderness

  12. R.... F....

    Best music in the entire world. Sad that people dont realize what music is. Because this is real music.

    C.... B....

    @That Youtube Critic I ain't got no reason to lie

    C.... B....

    wasnt exactly implying you were lying but alright

    C.... B....

    ok, I'm not the only thirteen year old that actually likes this. (that was an exaggeration, of course there are other thirteen year olds that like this, don't come after me)

  20. N.... P....

    They call me a drifter, they say I'm no good
    I´ll never amount to a thing
    Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good
    There's joy in this song that I sing.

    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
    I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.
    At night I will rest 'neath a blanket of blue

    Doubt if I ever will change
    I might even dream of a lady I knew
    Might even whisper her name
    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

    I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
    Saddle tramp.
    I might even wind up in Idaho
    And visit a cute little miss

    A sweet little someone I used to know
    And I might even stop long enough for a kiss.
    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
    I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please

    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.
    Might even ride back through Phoenix someday
    Might even stop for awhile
    But branded, no never! I´ll not be tied down

    Trapped by a fair lady´s smile.
    Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
    I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
    Saddle tramp

  21. 0.... M....

    0.... M....

    i may even end up in Mexico...

  22. O.... ....

    the first biker song

    O.... ....

    This is about riding horseback you fool.

    O.... ....

    @Grant Shouse tsk- ye of limited imagination

    O.... ....

    @Grant Shouse r/woooosh

    O.... ....

    When I get my bike fixed, this is the first song I'm playing

    O.... ....

    unless your bike has four legs, a main, and likes oats, no.

  23. I.... ....

    'I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please'....the day I stop living those words to the fullest is the day I die

    I.... ....

    Saddle trammmmmp.

  24. B.... P....

    The guitar at the beginning makes me turgid

  25. r.... r....

    Who else is from Idaho, and were surprised when Marty said "I might even wind up in Idaho.", gosh, I hardly hear it mentioned anywhere.

  26. J.... l....

    Amazing

  27. G.... B....

    I honestly dont get why anybody would dislike this. Like even if you dont like a song, why?

    G.... B....

    Statistically, it is very likely that a few people (or children who didn't know what they were doing) accidentally hit the dislike button and didn't notice.

    G.... B....

    Is it not obvious? They're saddle tramps...

    G.... B....

    The message is really messed up

    G.... B....

    @Aren Avetissian ???

    G.... B....

    Some people are cocksuckers.

  28. D.... D....

    My favorite Marty song I have loved him since childhood as my favorite singer and always will

    D.... D....

    Can you tell us about your childhood?

    D.... D....

    I was called saddletramp for a lot of years on a bull wagan

    D.... D....

    I'm far to young to have listened to this since childhood but he is a wonderful musician

  29. T.... U....

    Well i may be a drifter and i may be no good

    T.... U....

    There's joy in this song that I sing

    T.... U....

    There’s nothing else to this, I’m just a terrible person

    T.... U....

    @Mr. D. Rektor Studios lol basically, but I'm having a good time regardless. Free as the breeze, ride where I please

  30. T.... U....

    What a song

  31. G.... K....

    I listen to this song every time I go horseback riding

    G.... K....

    I listen to this when I'm feeling worthless

    G.... K....

    @lesley hill feel ya there

    G.... K....

    How clever.

    G.... K....

    Lee Vandenberg did you stutter in a text?

    G.... K....
