Lyrics
True you ride the finest horse I've ever seen
Standing 16 1" or 2" with eyes wild and green
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut one last time
I turn to face an empty space where once you used to lie
And look for a smile to light the night through a teardrop in my eye
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to

I recently lost my baby sister she was only 38 she passed away 12th January and then 6months later my fiancee passed away 25th July 2022 my heart as been torn out and broken 💔 😢 am a lost soul at the moment, I came across this song by accident its very haunting but very beautifully sung

[@agricolaregs]

I’m so sorry, man. That really sucks.

[@elsestelema6273]

So very sorry💔💔💔

I long, with every fibre of my being, to be Irish, and I love Christie and many other fine Irish musicians. My one and only wish is to step foot on Irish soil and breathe in the Irish air, and have my first jar in an Irish pub, maybe in Dublin, so, look out, I'm coming! I'll get there one day! I'll get there one fine day!

[@wsintra]

guitarist not mentioned anywhere, big up Declan Sinnott

[@markdonnelly6921]

Sinott a great musican but theres a difference between commercial success and musianship. Moore played for years everywhere and its a different thing. popular delivery and tying in musicianship is a different animal.

[@SirReginaldBumquistIII]

Are you just here to point out differences mark aye ​@@markdonnelly6921

[@sonyadillon1200]

Can I just say I love Christy Moore and this song brings tears to my eyes ,my son died 8 months ago and when he was younger he loved horse riding he was disabled yet he could do this with help I just keep thinking of him in the afterlife free on his horse rest in peace my darling Kevin xxxxx no longer here but never forgotten and thank you Christy Moore for such a beautiful song

BBC Radio 2 are playing this song as a tribute to their DJ Steve Wright who loved Christy but missed out seeing him live due to COVID. It was announced, today, that Steve sadly passed away RIP.

[@kyrlacton1957]

The funeral service for a very old friend of mine was today, I watched online as I live in a different country. Her son made a wonderful speech about his mother and at the end they played Ride On. It was such an inspired choice and reminded me of how much I cared for my old friend.

[@patcowley6378]

Declan Synott guitar work is masterfull .... hands down the best in Irish folk ... He frames the picture Christie paints with such a deft touch...His atmospheric guitar work is phenomenal ... clean , harmonically rich.. perfect.

Anyday you get home in one piece, is a good day. - C, Moore

[@sd4055]

OMG this song is so hauntingly beautiful. I missed listening to you Christy. Love your voice so much.

[@Indiana_Golden]

I've been a fan since I heard him for the first time. It was Martin McGuinness funeral.

[@teeearly2093]

The first words Christy says, even before he starts the song, bring tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat. “Any day that you get home in one piece is a good day”. Because 75 yrs ago when they were 5yo and 29yo my uncle and grandfather were killed in 2 separate road accidents, only 5 days apart and to this day my dad hasn’t healed. Truer words have ne’er been spoken, Christy. Any day above ground is a good day. ❤🙏🏽

[@jaquiebrown6549]

Your poor Dad. ❤

[@Noronen13777]

Everybody clapping and then stopping because nobody could hear, then silence. It's absolutely a captivating song.

[@michellefleur5366]

Saw this performed twice in the same year by christy and guitarist Declan Sinnett. It's was the most moving experience I have had at any gig...

Beautiful song

[@michaelhussey440]

Ride On and Folk Tale from Graffiti Tongue are my absolute Christy Moore favourites. I listened to an old Desert Island discs from 2007 and he relates that his mother had him learn diction, which , combined with his Irish lilt, makes for beautiful singing and speech. A credit to his nation.

Haunting

[@FlatlandMando]

Christy Moore has a clean simplicity to his singing & like most Irish ( opinion) he enunciates the consonants..the whole words are sounded out, no slurring, no shortcuts. Maybe this is one reason why people love his music in concert...Beautiful sparse guitar accompaniment. No note is placed wrong(ly) haha

Fair play Christy for sharing your amazing music ...
