Had me a gal in Tulsa, I thought she was my own
But she up and left me for a waddy from San Antone
She didn't even tell me, she was leavin' me
I'm just a lonesome cowboy, down in the cow country
I got the cowboy blues, as blue as I can be
And that old lo-bo, howlin' at the moon, ain't got nothin' on me
I got a long-gone lonesome feelin' I just can't seem to lose
I'm just a lonesome cowboy, just singin' the cowboy blues
Sell my horse and saddle, and catch me a cattle train
Leave my troubles behind me, Lord, never coming back again
And if you ever see her, tell her this for me
I'm just a lonesome cowboy, down in the cow country
I got the cowboy blues, as blue as I can be
And that old lo-bo, howlin' at the moon, ain't got nothin' on me
I got a long-gone lonesome feelin' I just can't seem to lose
I'm just a lonesome cowboy, a-singin' the cowboy blues
I got the cowboy blues, as blue as I can be
And that old lo-bo, howlin' at the moon, he ain't got nothin' on me
I got a long-gone lonesome feelin' I just can't seem to lose
I'm just a lonesome cowboy, I'm singin' the cowboy blues
