Where Do Cowboys Go When They Die / Reincarnation |
Where do cowboys go when they die? |
Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye? |
Where the water is clean and the grass grows free |
And there ain’t a cloud in the sky |
«What is reincarnation?» |
A cowboy asked his friend |
His friend replied «Well Son |
It happens when your life has reached its end |
You see, they comb your hair and they wash your neck |
And they clean your fingernails |
And they you down in a batted box |
Far away from life’s prevails |
Now the box and you goes in a hole |
That’s been dug into the ground |
And reincarnation starts |
When you’re planted beneath the mound |
You see the box melts down just like the clods (?) |
With you who is inside |
And then, you’re just beginning your transformation ride» |
Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye |
Where do cowboys go when they die? |
«Well, in a while some rain’s |
Gonna come and fall upon the ground |
'Til one day on your lonely little grave |
A little flower will be found |
And say a hoss should wander by |
And graze upon the flower |
That once was you but now becomes |
A vegetative bower |
That little flower that the hoss done ate up |
With all his other feed |
Becomes bone and fat and muscle |
Essentials for the steed |
But some he’s consumed, he can’t use |
So it passes through |
Finally it lays there on the ground |
This thing that once was you |
And then say that I should wander by |
And gaze upon the ground |
And wonder and ponder |
On this object that I’ve found |
Well it sure makes me think of reincarnation |
Of life and death and such |
And I ride away concludin' |
You ain’t changed all that much" |
Where do cowboys go when they die? |
Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye? |
Where the water is clean and the grass grows free |
And there ain’t a cloud in the sky |
