hank snow - prisoned cowboy lyrics
kind friends you have heard the story
and the song called twenty one years
all of how two lovers parted
of their sorrow, pain and tears.
i am another who’s heartbroken
and i’m in this lonesome jail
i was the honest ranger
tried for fame but soon i failed.
i was a cowboy singer
and i played the old guitar
but my mind was set on roaming
i started out for lands a-far.
soon fell with bad companions
and we robbed the western mail
shot and killed some helpless lady
as i think my face grows pale.
i had a pretty sweet heart
and she though the world of me
but we parted at the station
down in sunny tennessee.
last night from her i got a letter
saying, “i can never be your bride.”
as the moon shone though my window
i bowed my head and cried.
never more we’ll stroll together
down in dear old lover’s lane
i must spend my life in prison
i pray on high we’ll meet again…
