COWBOY-UP Or Go SIT In The TRUCK!
COWBOY-UP Or Go SIT In The TRUCK!
tn_whendreamscometrue.jpgAbout Me
Through the progress of the railroad our occupation's gone; So we put
ideas into words, our words into a song. First comes the cowboy; he is
pointed for the west; Of all the pioneers I claim the cowboys are the
best; You will miss him on the round-up; it's gone, his merry shout,--
The cowboy has left the country and the camp-fire has gone out. There
is the freighters, our companions; you've got to leave this land; Can't
drag your loads for nothing through the gumbo and the sand. The
railroads are bound to beat you when you do your level best; So give it
up to the grangers and strike out for the west. Bid them all adieu and
give the merry shout-- The cowboy has left the country, and the
camp-fire has gone out. When I think of those good old days, my eyes
with tears do fill; When I think of the tin can by the fire and coyote
on the hill. I'll tell you boys, in those days old-timers stood a
show,-- Our pockets full of money, not a sorrow did we know. But things
have changed now; we are poorly clothed and fed. Our wagons are all
broken and our ponies 'most all dead. Soon we will leave this country;
you'll hear the angels shout, "Oh, here they come to Heaven, the
camp-fire has gone out."
