Riding through the Black Hills, Southbound. Came upon this old ghost town. Sure looked eerie by the light of the old full moon. I was weary I got down Thought I’d have myself a look around Through some swinging doors came a half haunted tune And the broken down sign read ‘The Black Hat Saloon’ Walked right through them swingin’ doors Something like I’d never seen before Looked like a scene from 100 years ago A scarlet lady strode to my side Said she’d take me on a mystic ride All night long we danced around the moon But the sun woke me up to an empty dusty room With a broken down sign that read ‘The Black Hat Saloon’ Black Hat Saloon, come on and sing to me a melody Telling me all about what a good life it used to be Sing to me of the days of the silver and the gold When the music and the laughter From the whiskey warms your soul Now it’s all grown cold
