Lyrics A Cowboy's Life - Hot Rize

A Cowboy's Life

You can talk about your farms and your cattleman’s charms
Talk about your silver and your gold!
But the cowboy’s life is a very dreary life
It’s a ridin' in the heat and the cold!
It’s half past four, the noisy cook will roar
Hurrah!
It’s the breaking of the day!
Slowly we will rise, and wipe our weary eyes
Sweet dreamy night passed away
When the springtime comes, double hardships begun
The rain it’s a-fresh, it’s a-cold!
You can almost freeze from the water on your clothes
And the cattle you can scarcely hold
Where the wolves and the owls, with the terrifyin' howls
Will disturb our midnight dreams
As we lie on a slicker, on a cold, rainy night
Way out on the Pecos Stream
You can talk about your farms and your cattleman’s charms
Talk about your silver and your gold!
It’s not for to roam, you’d better stay at home
With your sweet and your loving little wife!
You can talk about your farms and your cattleman’s charms
Talk about your silver and your gold!
But the cowboy’s life is a very dreary life
It’s a ridin' in the heat and the cold!
