Marty Robbins - I'll Be A Cowboy All My Life lyrics

rate me

I'm kin to the rovin' wind<br />

That brings the Northern in<br />

Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand<br />

The steers are big and bold<br />

And the nights are often cold<br />

But I'll get by as long as I can<br />

Throw that rope and brand that calf<br />

Dream of a girl in a photograph<br />

I got no home, I got no wife<br />

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life<br />

<br />

I'm up at the crack of dawn<br />

And I throw the bacon on<br />

Seems somehow my work is never through<br />

When I get done at night<br />

All the stars are big and bright<br />

But then that's all o-what you're used to<br />

When ya throw that rope and brand that calf<br />

Dream of a girl in a photograph<br />

I got no home, I got no wife<br />

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life<br />

<br />

The hot, dry wind may blow<br />

And you'll see me in the rain and snow<br />

With just an old camp fire to keep me warm<br />

I'll move the herd along<br />

And I'll greet them with a song<br />

So I guess that I was born<br />

To throw that rope and brand that calf<br />

Dream of a girl in a photograph<br />

I got no home, I got no wife<br />

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
