COWPOKE

(Stan Jones)

« © '58 Edwin H. Morris & Co »

I'm lonesome but happy rich but I'm broke

And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke

From Cheyenne to Douglas all the ranges I know

Cause I drift with the wind no one cares where I go

I ain't got a dime in these old worn out jeans

So I'll stop eatin' steak and go back to beans

I'll pick up a ten spot and press God I know

Well I'm ridin' the broncs in the big rodeo

Some evening in springtime a filly I'll find

And we might spend all the summer with her on my mind

But I'll never be branded and never be broke

I'm a carefree range ridin' driftin' cowpoke
