Cowgirl Of The Plains Track

Cowgirl Of The Plains (Larry W. Jones 10/12/2006) (song#4048)
My horse is getting old and feeble
And I can’t ride him anymore
I’ve hung my spurs and saddle up to rest
I remember all my younger days
And the ranges I explored
Those old cattle days were all the best
|
But I feel so satisfied
When there comes the end of day
As I look out at the sunshine or the rain
For the only one I love
Though her hair has turned to gray
Is still the sweetest cowgirl of the plains
|
I can see the changes at the ranch
Most of the cattle are all gone
Now I don’t hear them lowing for the grain
We used to go to the big barn dance
And listen to fiddle and dobro songs
How I wish those memories were real again
|
The hinges on the gate are rusting
The corral is near to falling down
And the leather is dried up on the reins
Well, I can see the time is coming
When me and my horse won’t be around
To ride and brand the cattle on the range
|
But I feel so satisfied
When there comes the end of day
As I look out at the sunshine or the rain
For the only one I love
Though her hair has turned to gray
Is still the sweetest cowgirl of the plains
