The Texas Cowboy lyrics

Song : The Texas Cowboy
 
Words and Music by Hank Snow



Boys I was born in Texas State, Many years
ago,

I've rode on ev'ry range and plain, There's no
place I don't know;

I love to swing the lariat, that's all I'll ever
do, 

I'm a two-gun singing cowboy and I've never had
the blues.

For I hop on my old Pinto, And o'er the plains we
ride,

Just swingin' in the saddle, my guitar hangs by
my side;

Old Pinto's always willing, as for me I'm never
sad,

You'll find there beats an honest heart in this
old Texas lad.



I sleep out on the rolling plains, My blanket for
a bed, 

Waiting for the break of day To ride out to the
herd;

I'll mount my old cow-pony, wear my boots and
Stetson too,

And ride all day on Texas plains beneath the
skies of blue.

Now when my cheque of life I cash for the land
beyond the sky,

I'm goin; to ride old Pinto out across that Great
Divide;

I'll ride the last great Round-up far across the
Golden Plains,

Well boys, I hope you liked my song, I'm on my
way again.



O lee ay lee o, lee ay lee ay lee o, lee ay lee
ay lee o, lee o dee hee,

O ay lee o, lee ay lee o lee o, lee o lee ay lee
o -- lee o dee hee.

O lee ay lee o, lee ay lee ay lee o, lee ay lee
ay lee o, lee o dee hee,

O ay lee o, dee o lee, ay lee o, dee o dee
hee.
