arthur miles - lonely cowboy lyrics

Loading...

part 1

[verse 1]
a group of jolly cowboys
on the franklin ranch one night
their heads up on a saddle
and a campfire burning bright
some were telling stories
and some were singing songs
and some were smoking cigarettes
while the others rolled along

[verse 2]
at once they began their talking
of distant friends, oh dear
a boy raised his head from his saddle
and brushed away a tear
this boy was tall and handsome
and his face showed life of good cheer
his eyes were all but heavenly blue and he had light wavy hair

[verse 3]
we asked him why he left his home
it being so dear to him
he raised his head from his saddle
with tears his eyes grew dim
as he raised his head from his saddle
and he gazed right over the h+rn
said “boys i tell you the reason why
i stay at home no more”

part 2
[verse 1]
i fell in love with the neighbour’s girl
her cheeks was very white
another fellow loved this girl
and it ended in a fight
this fellow’s name was tommy smith
and we had been great chums
we shared each others troubles
we shared each others bond

[verse 2]
it almost makes me shudder
to think of that sad night
when tom and i was quarrelling
i stabbed him with my knife
i fell on my knees beside him
and tried to stop the blood
that flowed down so gently
it was like crimson flood

[verse 3]
i can almost hear tommy’s voice
as the boys all gathered around
saying “bob ol’ boy you’ll remember when i am under the ground”
now boys you know the reason why
that i am compelled to roam
and why i am so far away from dear old home sweet home
