White Horse Blues |
|
| This bitter song relates the helplessness of a man who has lost his lover to the White Horse, heroin. He still loves her, and you can sense the feeling of total loss in the last verse as she gives her life to her habit. | ||

You've got yourself a white horse babe, you don't want me no more You've got yourself a white horse babe, you don't want me no more And when you stop your riding, you want to ride him some more When I saw you looking I said "Leave that white horse alone" When I saw you looking I said "Won't you leave that white horse alone" But you didn't listen to me darling, you brought that white horse home Your white horse is so hungry you have to feed him night and day Your white horse is so hungry you've got to feed him night and day The way things are going - the craving won't go away Sometimes you look so happy when you're riding on your white horse Sometimes you look so happy when your riding on your white horse Sometimes you're looking so sad, I don't think it can get any worse You're riding into the sunset with your hair blowing in the breeze You're riding into the sunset with your hair blowing in the breeze You look so lovely, I'm crying, as the sun goes down over the trees |
