On GSaturday mornings I'd Cride to the Gmovies,
CBooted and Gspurred on my Chorse made of Dtin
GTie-up my cyi-use Coutside on the Gpavement
Eric Bogle
'Front Row Cowboy'
#Chorded by Shawn and Andrew Prest
CLay down my Gsixpence and Dmosey on Gin.
DI'd sit in the front row with the Cother young Gcowboys
DWaitin' for Roy to Cappear on the Gscreen
DWaitin' for Roy and his Cgolden horse GTrigger,
To Ccarry me Goff into Dmy favorite Gdream.
Chorus:
GRoy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh Cyou were my Ghero,
A Cman made of Gsteel on a Chorse made of Dgold
GTogether we rode through the Cdays of my Gchildhood
CMemories like Gheroes, they Dnever grow Gold.
GTogether we rode over Cmountains and Gvalleys
CCamped out a Gnight 'neath the Cwide prairie Dsky,
GWe'd sing cowboy songs as we Csat by the Gcampfire
CWhile out in the Gdarkness a Dwild coyote Gcried
DYi-pi-tie-yi-yo Cbaked beans and Gcoffee,
DTall tales and true as we Csat by the Gfire
DThen up in the morning and Caway we'd go Griding.
CTwo gay cabaGlleros, two Dheroes for Ghire.
GAnd now I'm a man, and I've Chung up my Gsix-gun
CNo more do I Gride on a Chorse made of Dtin.
GNow I ride subways, and Cfreeways and Grailways,
CInstead of a Gsix-gun I Dnow wield a Gpen.
DBut part of my heart will Calways be Gridin'
DAlong the bright canyons and the Cwild forest Gways
DAlong with Roy Rogers my Cfaithful Gcompanion,
CInto the Gsunset of Dmy childhood Gdays.
Eric Bogle
'Front Row Cowboy'
Chorus:
Roy GRogers, Roy Rogers, Oh Cyou were my Ghero,
A Cman made of Gsteel on a Chorse made of Dgold
GTogether we rode through the Cdays of my Gchildhood
CMemories like Gheroes, they Dnever grow Gold.
GHe was my friend, yes, Che was my friend.
DHe never let me Gdown.
He was Ghonest and faithful right Cup to the end
DI loved Roy Rogers 'cause Che was my Gfriend.

Into the sunset of my childhood days.
