Tribute to Gene Autry, 1907-1998 Well, my little Bucaroos and Buckarets, another of our white-hatted heros has left us to work at the feet of that big range-boss in the sky. Like Roy, Gene had influenced my moral upbringing in the days of the saturday movie matinee, before TV. Good always wins; Bad never prospers. I would like to believe that I carried the tenets he taught me as a youth through my adult life. With unashamed tears tricklin' down our cheeks, lets sing his theme song. BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN as sung by Gene Autry as remembered by Charles Allen, 4/4 brightly () I'm back in the saddle again Out where a friend is a friend Where we sleep out every night Where the only law is "right" I'm back in the saddle again Riding the range once more Totin' my old '44 Where the long-horned cattle feed On the lonely jipson weed I'm back in the saddle again Whoopy-ti-yi-yo Rocking to and fro' I'm back in the saddle again Whoopy-ti-yi-ya I'll be on my way I'm back in the saddle again. note 1: as a youngster I learned this song with just a simple two-string "". Ah, those memories. note 2: ? ||---|---|-o-|--- ||---|-o-|---|--- ||---|---|-o-|--- ||---|-o-|---|--- ||---|---|---|--- ||---|---|---|---
