GThe cow camp is busy the big herd’s uneasy
The dark sky is rolling and D7mean
He rolls him a tight one ties down his slicker
Slaps at some dust on his Gknee
He lays out a flat loop throws at the piebald
Laughed as the old pony Cducked
Then the D7third time he caught him
I guess the old pony let him
Games over he’s startin’ to Gcuss
Now the night watch is his with his face to the wind
He nods as rides past the Cboss
He’s D7hummin’ a song that his granddaddy taught him
On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
And he Crides off to cow town when the fall work is over
And goes straight to the Two Minnie’s bar
Where he D7dances till morning with the prettiest ladies
And tells ‘em stories about horses and Gwars
The cow camps are empty the lands full of fences
The cowboys feed hay in a D7truck
The chuck wagon stands in a museum in Kansas
Rottin’ and gatherin’ Gdust
He rocks in an old chair his granddaddy made him
When the plains were still open and Cfree
And his D7leggings still hang on a nail by the bed
Gave his spurs to his grandson last Gspring
Then he rolls him a tight one and stares at the wall
At a picture of him and the Cboss
For a D7while he jumps cattle out of sagebrush and cedar
On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
Then he Cdreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning
With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar
Then he D7throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys
And tells lies about horses and Gwars
He’s seen in his lifetime a gas-powered jeepney
Then a picture they sent back from Cmars
But D7all that he prays for is to ride off to glory
On the back of that ol’ piebald Ghoss
While he Cdreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning
With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar
Then he D7throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys
And tells lies about horses and Gwars

Chords in this song · guitar

The cow camp is busy the big herd’s uneasy

The dark sky is rolling and mean

He rolls him a tight one ties down his slicker

Slaps at some dust on his knee

He lays out a flat loop throws at the piebald

Laughed as the old pony ducked

Then the third time he caught him

I guess the old pony let him

Games over he’s startin’ to cuss

Now the night watch is his with his face to the wind

He nods as rides past the boss

He’s hummin’ a song that his granddaddy taught him

On the back of that ol’ piebald hoss

And he rides off to cow town when the fall work is over

And goes straight to the Two Minnie’s bar

Where he dances till morning with the prettiest ladies

And tells ‘em stories about horses and wars

The cow camps are empty the lands full of fences

The cowboys feed hay in a truck

The chuck wagon stands in a museum in Kansas

Rottin’ and gatherin’ dust

He rocks in an old chair his granddaddy made him

When the plains were still open and free

And his leggings still hang on a nail by the bed

Gave his spurs to his grandson last spring

Then he rolls him a tight one and stares at the wall

At a picture of him and the boss

For a while he jumps cattle out of sagebrush and cedar

On the back of that ol’ piebald hoss

Then he dreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning

With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar

Then he throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys

And tells lies about horses and wars

He’s seen in his lifetime a gas-powered jeepney

Then a picture they sent back from mars

But all that he prays for is to ride off to glory

On the back of that ol’ piebald hoss

While he dreams he’s in Cowtown a dancin’ till morning

With the girls at the Two Minnie’s bar

Then he throws down a whiskey with a couple of cowboys

And tells lies about horses and wars
