From the recording Wherever We Roam
Music and lyrics by David Beldock and Peggy Watson
Lyrics
There once was a burro so brave and so strong
He was my best pal so I wrote this song
Riding along beneath the wide-open sky
Take our time, it’s just my burro and I
We go easy, breathe in the air
Beautiful sounds we hear, they’re everywhere
We don’t want a thing, we’ve got all we need
Through this world just me and my trusty steed
Called him burro, gave him his name
Guess he’d answer to anything, we’re all the same
At night we’d bed down on a blanket, under a tree
Moon come up, stars come out
We were happy and free, we were happy and free
There’s a million things I don’t know
Like how many stars there are, or where we go
Been a long time, since we said goodbye
Maybe we’ll meet again, you and I
Will ride along beneath the wide-open sky
Take our time, it’s just my burro and I
