The Statler Brothers Mr. Autry lyrics

We read your book

And you gave us

A closer look

At the hero

Who helped us know

Right from wrong

Ahhh, it's been so long

Mr. Autry

We read each page

And even you

Improved with age

You're still the cowboy

That all of us boys

Thought you were

You still ride champion in our mem'ries

A cowboy soldier to the end

Whenever duty called you would answer

And be back in the saddle again

Mr. A.

We loved each line

You gave so much

In your time

From radio

To picture shows

And the songs you write

Ahhh, your hat's still white

Mr. Gene

It's another day

And we've grown up

But let us say

Just like before

And even more

We wanna be like you

You still ride champion in our mem'ries

A cowboy soldier to the end

Whenever duty called you would answer

And be back in the saddle again

Look good this spring

Don't worry none

You're still number one

And we still love you
