Cow Poke

Cow Poke - Rex Allen

I'm lonesome but happy

Rich but I'm broke

And the good Lord

Knows the reason

I'm just a cowpoke

From Cheyenne to Douglas

All the ranges I know

'Cause I drift with the wind

No one cares where I go

Oooooohh

Oooooohh

Well I ain't got a dime

In these ol' wore out jeans

So I'll stop eating steak

And go back to beans

I'll pick up a ten spot

In Prescott I know

I'll ride in the broncs

In the big rodeo

Oooooohh

Oooooohh

Next summer up north

If there ain't a big drought

And the first time it's snows

I'll be headed back south

And I ain't got no worries

I ain't got the time

I'm too busy living

This free life of mine

Oooooohh

Oooooohh

Some evening in springtime

A filly I'll find

And I might spend

All summer

With her on my mind

But I'll never be branded

And never be broke

I'm a carefree range riding

Drifting cowpoke

Oooooohh

Oooooohh

Oooooohh

Oooooohh
