Well, here we are camped beside Lake Roosevelt once again. Somehow last night, we realized we could morph the famous "Back In The Saddle Again" to "Back In The Tonto Again." With apologies to Gene Autry, here's our adaptation of his legendary lyrics. The original lyrics are below in italic.
I`m back in the Tonto again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the Tonto again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the Tonto again
Ridin` the range once more
Totin` my old Toyota
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the Tonto again
Totin` my old Toyota
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the Tonto again
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the Tonto again
I`m back in the Tonto again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the Tonto again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the Tonto again
Ridin` the range once more
Totin` my old Toyota
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the Tonto again
Totin` my old Toyota
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the Tonto again
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the Tonto again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the Tonto again
-------original lyrics------
I`m back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Ridin` the range once more
Totin` my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Totin` my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
I`m back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Ridin` the range once more
Totin` my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Totin` my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
Rockin` to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
Here's a video of Autry singing a portion of the song:
