This is Vaughn Monroe's excellent rendering of this tune from "The Ride Back", a western movie released in 1957 starring Anthony Quinn and William Conrad. Eddie Albert was the singer of the film version. Here are the lyrics, not sure they are correct. The ride back, the ride back I'm taking that long ride back I'm no man of violence, but I'm facing a test There someone in Cerralvo I've got to arrest It's four days journey and it's lonely at best, Why do I have to go? I may be a lawman but I'm mighty a'fear, My quarry is a gunman from stories I've heard My heart keeps pounding has Cerralvo is neared, 'cause that I'll have to take The Ride Back I'm taking the long ride back The good Lord was with me when I went for my man, I'm taking him to Scottsville accordin' to plan Got no one 'round here who will give me a hand I've gotta travel on The Ride back I'm travelling that long ride back We ran into Indians, I got shot throught the chest, The captive I was bringing, he killed all the rest I knew he'd leave me, I was helpless at best I found I could not move The long ride is over and there's Scottsville ahead, There's something I must tell you before I am dead: I didn't bring the prisoner in, he brought me instead That's how I got to take The ride back I've taken the long ride back.
