Lyrics

Cowpoke

From cheyenne to douglas. all the ranges I know
I drift with the wind, no one cares where I go

I'm lonesome but happy' rich but I'm broke
And the good lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke

Well I ain't got a dime in these old worn out jeans
So I'll quit eatin' steak and go back to beans

I'll pick up a ten spot in prescott I know (not press god)
From ridin' the broncs in the big rodeo

Maybe this winter, a filly i'll find
And i'll spend the whole summer with her on my mind

But i'll never be saddled, i'll never be broke
I'm a ramblin', gamblin', driftin' cowpoke
Uh huh huh ooo ooo ooo

Been down in the prairie my pony and i
Hear the wail of the coyote hear his cry
Uh huh huh ooo ooo ooo

Thanks for helping me remember the words to this old-timer. I learned it from my dad when I was a kid, (i'm 62). I thought of this song today, couldn't remember all the words. now I have them back. never heard the last one though. kind of awkward. needs another word or two
Anyway
Thanks-george bentley
