The Texas Cowboy

The Texas Cowboy - Hank Snow/Texas Rose

Boys I was born in Texas State

Many years ago

I've rode on ev'ry range and plain

There's no place I don't know

I love to swing the lariat

That's all I'll ever do

I'm a two-gun singing cowboy

And I've never had the blues

For I hop on my old Pinto

And o'er the plains we ride

Just swingin' in the saddle

My guitar hangs by my side

Old Pinto's always willing

As for me I'm never sad

You'll find there beats an honest heart

In this old Texas lad

I sleep out on the rolling plains

My blanket for a bed

Waiting for the break of day

To ride out to the herd

I'll mount my old cow-pony

Wear my boots and Stetson too

And ride all day on Texas plains

Beneath the skies of blue

For I hop on my old Pinto

And o'er the plains we ride

Just swingin' in the saddle

My guitar hangs by my side

Old Pinto's always willing

As for me I'm never sad

You'll find there beats an honest heart

In this old Texas lad

Now when my cheque of life I cash

For the land beyond the sky

I'm goin' to ride old Pinto out

Across that Great Divide

I'll ride the last great Round-up

Far across the Golden Plains

Well boys I hope you liked my song

I'm on my way again

Now For I hop on my old Pinto

And o'er the plains we ride

Just swingin' in my saddle

My guitar hangs by my side

Old Pinto's always willing

As for me I'm never sad

You'll find there beats an honest heart

In this old Texas lad
