Horse and Rider

from Grand Promenade by Maggie McKaig

/

about

Just a good old country-folk feeling modern love song, driven along at a good clip by Luke's fabulously fluid 5-string banjo picking, Michael's equally as rolling spot on bass lines, and some pretty handy Maggie cross-picking guitar playing to boot.

lyrics

Horse and Rider

Horse and rider traveling along
At times not knowing the way
Horse and rider we never get lost
But sometimes we do tend to wander

I remember that first time you came to me
On a cold rainy day in May
The wind was rising, blowing clouds around the sky
And you were shining in my eyes

So we kicked up our heels in the sunshine of the morning
Made some tracks, I can tell you

Horse and rider traveling along
At times not knowing the way
Horse and rider we never get lost
But sometimes we do tend to wander

Said you’d meet me in the springtime when the snow melts
But I haven’t seen a sign
Now the flowers are all blooming on the plum trees
I've got traveling on my mind
And I toss and turn through the long lonely nighttime
Dream I see a horse and rider up the valley

Horse and rider traveling along
At times not knowing the way
Horse and rider we never get lost
But sometimes we do tend to wander

In my younger years I’d swear I’d wait forever
Hoping that you’d come around
But what I love in you is what keeps you a rambling
And I’ve no wish to tie you down
So I’ll see the fields come ripening in the summer
Then my dear I will wait no longer

Horse and rider traveling along
At times not knowing the way
Horse and rider we never get lost
But sometimes we do tend to wander

Oohs...
