I'm a poor lonesome cowboy

by Pat Woods

{Refrain :}
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, 
You're a long long way from home
Lonesome cowboy, lonesome cowboy, 
You've a long long way to roam

I'm a poor lonesome cowboy
I'm a long long way from home
And this poor lonesome cowboy
Has got a long long way to roam
Over mountains over prairies
From dawn till day is done
My horse and me keep riding
Into the setting sun

{au refrain :}

There are guys who just figure
Have a problem with a gun
And a finger on a trigger
Can be dangerous, hurt someone
But problems solve much better
By keeping calm and true
My horse and me keep riding
I ain't nobody's fool

{au refrain :}

I'm a poor lonesome cowboy
But it doesn't bother me
'Cause this poor lonesome cowboy
Prefers a horse for company
Got nothing against women
But I wave them all goodbye
My horse and me keep riding
We don't like being tied

{au refrain :}
To roam
