Be A Texas Cowboy

Be A Texas Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 01/14/2012) (song #6536)Well, I’m a Texas cowboy far away from homeWhen I ride back to Texas, I will no more roamMontana is too cold and winters are too longBefore Spring roundups start, your money is all goneI worked the X-I-T which now I’ll never seeLest I go back to Texas and they pardon meI’ve worked in Nebraska where grass grows ten feet highCattle are the rustlers, they make good cowboys die(instrumental)I’ve worked in the sand hills and down along the PlatteMost cowboys are good fellers and cattle are fatI traveled this whole country and worked for the brandAll through the Indian Nation and the Rio GrandeAll along the Yellowstone where it’s cold year roundBoys, I got consumption from sleeping on the groundThe badlands of Montana are the worst I’ve seenAin’t no place for tenderfeet and cows are too lean(instrumental)So all you Texas cowboys, take warning from meGo to Montana but leave your money with meJust work down in Texas all the whole year aroundYou won’t get consumption from sleeping on the ground Hosted on Acast.
