All Ye Roving Cowboys (Larry W. Jones 11/30/2006) (song#4195)
Gather ’round all ye roving cowboys
Cross the prairies we will fly
We’ll raise the dust up from the earth
To cover the dry western sky
|
Round the campfire wolves will dance
And ’round the cattle we will stay
A cowboy’s life is one of hard romance
Drivin’ longhorns is our cowboy way
|
Gather ’round all ye roving cowboys
Cross the prairies we will fly
We’ll raise the dust up from the earth
To cover the dry western sky
|
Our cookie, he just loves us all
He cooks over hickory wood
We can’t wait to hear his call
Though his coffee’s never good
|
We cowboys have that magic touch
Though we’ll never a magician be
Cowboys don’t ever ask for much
Just a pony and range for ridin’ free
|
Hooves are the sound of beating drums
Like the songs the cowboys love to hear
Give him a guitar and hear him strum
For anyone who’ll bother to lend an ear
|
Well, a cowboy rides the range all day
And one thing is crystal clear
He prides himself in the cowboy way
That cowboy way he holds so dear
