Best Answer

The author of Back in the Saddle Again is the silver screen singing cowboy, Ray Whitley. He first performed the song in it's original form in the movie Border G-Man in 1938. Gene Autry heard the song and offered to buy it from Ray for a reported $200. He eventually made it his theme song. Unfortunately, Gene always took first credit for writing the song and the true author was lost in that fact. It is possible Gene had some input in changing a few notes and starting with the verse before the chorus, but he had no other influence in writing the song. (The original started with the chorus).

What does get back into the saddle mean?

It means to try again. If you were riding a horse and fell off, you would get up and get "back into the saddle" to try to ride the horse again. So if someone has failed at something or has had a problem doing something, sometimes even something they have been able to do well in the past, someone may encourage them to try again by saying "Get back into the saddle".
