Marshall Tucker Band - Last of the Singing Cowboys lyrics

rate me

In the corner of dark bar room

Sat an ole' cowboy singin' western tunes

Singin' songs he learned as a child

All about the West back when it was wild

He said he came from down Texas way

The cowboys were tough

The women the same way

Said he was a star back in '31

Hollywood had liked him for some songs that he had done

He's the last of the singin' cowboys

Singin' songs of inspiration and joy

Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay Aye

He took a break, just to chug him down a beer

C'mon folks holler out the songs you'd like to hear

If I know one, I know a million tunes

I'm not up here playin' for me

This is all just for you

And then he bragged on the Stinson hat that he wore

Said it was the finest made since the war

And he won the silver buckle ridin' on a cow

And as he laughed he said

I'll bet you're wonderin' how?

He's the last of the singin' cowboys

Singin' songs of inspiration and joy

Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay A ye

And after three hours or maybe more

A lady grabbed his arm

and showed him to the door

The bartender said, "he's blind, you see

Don't tell him the only audience he had was you and me"

'Cause he's the last of the singin' cowboys

Singin songs of inspiration and joy

Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay A ye
