Red Steagall - Momma im a cowboy

^DTheres nothing left but ashes ^EmThe fire is gone for good ^A7I'm trapped here in this cabin ^GTo cold to go for ^Dwood So I thought I'd write a letter ^EmLet you know that i'm okay ^A7Though my leg still hurts a little ^GFrom a bad spill yester ^Dday

D7 ^GDear momma I'm a c^A7owboy and ^DI know that breaks your ^Gheart all ^A7the things they wrote about me must have ^Gtorn your world ^A7apart but ^Dmomma please forgive me though I ^Emdrove you near insane I ^A7never killed nobody I ^Gnever ^A7robbed that ^Dtrain.

^DWe found him in the springtime ^EmAt the table where he died ^A7Tears had stained the letter ^GWhen he bowed his head and ^Dcried We all just bawled like babies ^EmAs we read it one by one ^A7And thought about our own mommas ^GAll the things we'd left ^Dundone

^DThen we rolled him in his blanket ^EMAnd as the boy's all gathered round ^A7I read his letter one more time ^GThen we lowered him into the ^Dground

D7 ^GDear momma I'm a c^A7owboy and ^DI know that breaks your ^Gheart all ^A7the things they wrote about me must have ^Gtorn your world ^A7apart but ^Dmomma please forgive me though I ^Emdrove you near insane I ^A7never killed nobody I ^Gnever ^A7robbed that ^Dtrain.
