Cowboy Lover

"I didn't want to break your heart. I had no thought of that at all, When I told you I'd be leaving Right after roundup time this fall. A cowboy's life is lonely, A saddle, bridle and a horse, Bedroll, just to keep from freezing, When he wanders off his course. If I had a stack of money, I'd settle down, make you my wife. Until I'm through meandering, I can't ask you to share my life. Dry your eyes my little lady And let me see that pretty smile. There will be other cowboys Who will outshine me by a mile. If you find one with a bankroll, Who can afford a little spread, Get your lariat and rope him. Forget about these tears you've shed. I'll be thinking of you, Honey As I travel 'cross the range. But this cowboy is a rambler, I expect he'll never change.
