    Lyrics:
    I was three days’ ride from Tulsa
    En route to Santa Fe
    And there beneath the blazing sun
    My horse began to sway
    Was then I heard a thunderous sound
    Come risin’ up behind
    The hoofbeats of twelve horsemen
    Their course locked on to mine
    White Rider
    White Rider
    Ain’t fixin’ for to join your fated line
    White Rider
    White Rider
    Don’t come to claim me ‘fore I had my time
    Was four days’ ride from Tulsa
    The Riders still in tow
    They were dressed in white from toe to tip
    Pale horses trod below
    And last among their number
    A chilling sight to see
    The thirteenth horse lay empty
    With a saddle meant for me
    White Rider
    White Rider
    Ain’t fixin’ for to join your fated line
    White Rider
    White Rider
    Don’t come to claim me ‘fore I had my time
    Was five day’s ride from Tulsa
    When I pitched into the sand
    My legs gave out, my body lacked
    The strength enough to stand
    The Horsemen moved upon me then
    Their leader to my side
    Said “Son, I think the time has come
    To saddle up and Ride.”
    White Rider
    White Rider
    Well, day will come we all will join that line
    White Rider
    White Rider
    They come to claim me now I had my time
    Now I had my time

    It's crazy to think a song that sounds it could have been sung by Johnny Cash and would have a #1 hit, was made for a video game... Hats off to you sir.

      Thank you for the super kind compliment! Ryan's composition on this was incredible, and I intently studied Johnny Cash's vocal style and even his posture while performing to capture his essence in delivering these parts. You'll be happy to hear this song was just nominated for Best Song by the National Association of Video Game Trade Reviews! navgtr.org/nominees

    In an interview Ryan Ike talked about accidentally ripping himself off when he used a guitar piece that he had written for another project as "temporary music" in West of Loathing, and the devs loved it and insisted he keep it, so he tweaked it slightly to get "Sit Fer A Spell". This must have been that track.

    For those still wandering, yes the song is a metaphor of death, but if you dig deeper you can find a ghost story from Arizona called "White Riders", which describes 12 riders who come for you when it is your time, aka when you die.

      “Locked on” refers to actual locks, like, “seems you’ve got a lock on things” simply means you’ve got good control on this situation, or, in this case, he’s locked on and in control to get to his destination.
      As for Vagrant Song, you do realize there’s more to the West than simply deserts, right? A vagrant could easily see the sea, I know it might sound crazy, but many people in the west came from other countries, from, you know, the sea?
