Purple Sagebrush In The Morning

Purple Sagebrush In The Morning (Larry W. Jones 01/19/2012) (song #6544)The western sun is rising, air is clean and fineWith just a little chill til around eight or nineI smell breakfast cooking before the cattle driveBut there’s something else makes me glad that I’m aliveIt’s that sweet and bracing scent, comes from the prairieThe aroma is all embracing, you’ll agreeThink of something that gives the prairie adorningIt’s the scent of purple sagebrush in the morningI’ve ridden many trails in this wide and good landLived a cowboy’s life as rough and tough as any manI’m an old cow puncher as free as I can beBut there is one allure that always captures meAt the time of waking it brings me thoughts so fineWhy, on just the scent alone I could rightly dineAnd there ain’t no cowboy born could go a-scorningThe sweet scent of purple sagebrush in the morningWhen I ride the Great Divide with its lofty spiresI’ll see no more my outfit or its warm camp firesI would just like to say before I drift awayThere is one simple thing that always makes my dayWhen the sun comes up and I wake up on the rangeI see the land that’s so grand, may it never changeIt comes every way when the day is a-borningThat sweet scent of purple sagebrush in the morning Hosted on Acast.
