When The Bloom Is On The Sage

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage Then I long to be in Texas back a-ridin' on the range Just to smell the bacon fryin' when it's sizzlin' in the pan Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn, drinkin' coffee from a can [Verse 2] Just a-ridin', rockin', ropin', poundin' leather all day long Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin', listen to a cowboy song How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage To be free again, just to be again where the bloom is on the sage [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage Then I long to bе in Texas back a-ridin' on the range Whеre the purple hills are callin', callin' to me from afar To come back again to the Rio Grande and the lonely Texas star [Verse 4] How I'm longing to be living where the prairie flowers grow I'll be willing to start walking to the land that I love so How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage To be free again, just to be again where the bloom is on the sage
