GThe cow camp is busy the big herd’s uneasy The dark sky is rolling and D7mean
He rolls him a tight one ties down his slicker
Slaps at some dust on his Gknee
He lays out a flat loop throws at the piebald
Laughed as the old pony Cducked Then the D7third time he caught him
I guess the old pony let him
Games over he’s startin’ to Gcuss
Now the night watch is his with his face to the wind
He nods as rides past the Cboss He’s D7hummin’ a song that his granddaddy taught him On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
And he Crides off to cow town when the fall work is over And goes straight to the Two Minnie’s bar Where he D7dances till morning with the prettiest ladies And tells ‘em stories about horses and Gwars
The cow camps are empty the lands full of fences
The cowboys feed hay in a D7truck The chuck wagon stands in a museum in Kansas Rottin’ and gatherin’ Gdust
He rocks in an old chair his granddaddy made him
When the plains were still open and Cfree And his D7leggings still hang on a nail by the bed Gave his spurs to his grandson last Gspring
Then he rolls him a tight one and stares at the wall
At a picture of him and the Cboss For a D7while he jumps cattle out of sagebrush and cedar On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
Then he Cdreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar Then he D7throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys And tells lies about horses and Gwars
He’s seen in his lifetime a gas-powered jeepney
Then a picture they sent back from Cmars But D7all that he prays for is to ride off to glory On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
While he Cdreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar Then he D7throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys And tells lies about horses and Gwars
