Cowboy |
| Paniolo cowboy in a field of sugar cane |
| Once there was a forest where they hid there in the rain |
| Cowboy bowboy cowboy |
| Wanderin' Wahini under locks of raven hair |
| Beads of inspiration Hopin' he would not forget just where |
| Heyup cowboy! |
| Up above the canopy in the highest branches of a tree |
| He would take her longingly and say «One day you’ll belong to me» |
| I forgot to mention it was nineteen forty-one |
| Zeros kept a-comin' like to blanket out the sun |
| Cowboy cowboy |
| So they lay suspended dreaming of some kind of god |
| With their limbs akimbo and extended to the mind of God |
| Cowboy |
| And the night without regret says it’s time to let your hair down low |
| There they lay in silhouette he would say I’d stay yet have to go |
| King Kamehameha met with Captain Cook uopn the shore |
| Lookin' at all the cattle asked him «What the hell are these for?» |
| Cowboy cowboy cowboy |
| Gone now is the forest and the lovers of the trees |
| Now there is a chorus playing golf who say in Japanese |
| Kau-boi |
