Put On Your White Sombrero

Put on Your White Sombrero was a song, released in 1994 on the box set Thank You For The Music (box set), by Swedish pop group ABBA. It features lead vocals by Anni-Frid Lyngstad and backing vocals (and part of the third verse, as a duet) by Agnetha Faltskog. It was intended for the album Super Trouper (album), but after much reworking the song was shelved (replaced by the album's title song, Super Trouper) and the backing track eventually reused with Cassandra in 1982.

Lyrics
Put on your white sombrero,

Saddle your horse, my dear,

And ride off into the sunset.

You'd better go,

For there is no

Place for you here.

Like an old-fashioned hero,

You... stand before me.

Oh...

You think our life is a movie.

My world is real,

I live and feel,

And I can do - without you.

---

Put on your white sombrero,

Your red bandana too.

Think of this day as a showdown.

Goodbye, my friend,

This is the end,

For me and you.

Now be a bold vaquero, (vaquero-quero-quero-quero)

Don't... show your feelings.

I...

I'll cry while you're disappearing,

Into the night,

All dressed in white,

Unchained and free - without me.

---

Put on your white sombrero,

Like all the cowboys do.

Go find a sweet señorita -

Somebody meek,

Who'll never speak

Harshly to you.

You're such a caballero, (caballero-ero-ero-ero-ero)

Proud... never bending.

I...

I need someone who can take me,

Just as I am,

I need a man,

Who is in rhyme,

With his time.

---

Oh...

You'll never take me -

Just as I am,

I need a man,

Who is in rhyme...

With his time.
