A Young Cowboy From Tulsa

A Young Cowboy From Tulsa

I once knew a young cowboy in Tulsa
Broad shouldered with long blonde hair
He rodeo’d with the best of that breed
And was champion of our county fair.

He was a sight to behold with women
A new girl every Saturday night
Never heard ‘em complain about nothin’
They all said he treated them right.

Then one night in the dead of the Winter
He left town and was never seen again
We heard he had settled down in Texas 
Or he was seen in Lawton now and then.

The time passed quickly since he left us
All the women got on with their lives
Thought they couldn’t live without him
Now they are all makin’ excellent wives.

We’ve got a high school rodeo team now
About the best you’ll find anywhere
Four ropers, three riders and a clown –
Broad shouldered with long blonde hair.
