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