Lyrics

Oh, I am a lonely cowboy and I'm off on the Texas train My trade is cinchin' saddles and pullin' bridle rein But I can twist a lasso with the greatest skill and ease Or rope and ride a bronco most anywhere I please Oh, I love the rollin' prairie that's far from trail and strife Behind a bunch of longhorns, I'll journey all my life But if I had a stake boys, soon married I would be To the sweetest girl in this wide world just fell in love with me Oh, when we get on the trail boys, and the dusty billows rise It's fifty miles from water and thе grass is scorchin' dry Oh, the boss is mad and rangy and you all can plainly see I'll have to follow the longhorns, I'm a cowboy hеre to be But when it comes a rain boys, one of the gentle kind When the lakes are full of water and the grass is wavin' fine The boss will shed his frown, boys, and a pleasant smile you'll see I'll have to follow the longhorns, I'm a cowboy here to be Oh, when we get 'em bedded, we think, down for the night Some horse'll shake his saddle and it'll give the herd a fright They'll bound to their feet boys, and madly stampede away In one moment's time, boy, you can hear a cowboy say Oh, when we get 'em bedded, we feel most inclined When the cloud'll rise in the west boys, and the fire play on their horns Oh, the old boss rides around then. Your pay you'll get in gold So I'll have to follow the longhorns until I am too old
