A Cowboy's Life - Hot Rize

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!
