My Cowboys

Gene Autry, Hopalong 
And Tim McCoy
Waved goodby to me 
As off into the sunset they go

Wild Bil Elliott, The Lone Ranger 
And Tonto were there
As we sat around the campfire
In the night air

Gary Cooper, John Wayne 
And Johnny Mack Brown
All of them were serious
Not ones to clown around

Fess Parker, Loren Greene
And James Arness
Knew that next week
We would be their guest

After the movies
We'd rush right home
Get on our horses
And relive the show

But oh how  my heart did sing
When Joel McCray
And Vaughn Monroe
Came on the screen

You see all of these men
Were heroes to me
Until that night on the H bar T spread
When I told Billy  Beer we would be wed

And That is another story !
