Dirt And Sweat Cowboy Lyrics

Well Lord I love this ranchin' with it's ropin' and brandin'



But I don't like that farmin' at all



It's goodby for the summer this haying's sure a bummer



And I'll be back to help you gather in the fall



Well I don't mind riding fences but them tractors are wrenches



I ain't never liked and I guess I never will



Just give me my horse and saddle or some woolies or some cattle



And turn me loose and let me ride out through the hills



Cause I'm just a cowboy a dirt and sweat cowboy



Livin' on beef steak and beans



I ain't to hard to please but Mister you better believe



I ain't never had no use for farm machines







Well there ain't much romancing in old fashioned branding



But Lorrie it suits me just fine



Oh the dust and the smoke's enough to make a feller choke



But have you ever had to ride one of them old combines



Now my grandpa was a farmer a Michigan black land farmer



And he worked with them machines the whole day through



But I bet if he did some roaming through the hills of old Wyoming



He'd probably feel about the same way that I do







I reckon it's just bad fate I was born a hundred years too kate



And they say boy if you want to survive you'd better change



But as long as sagebrush grows and that old Powder River flows



I'll be a cowboy till my dyin' day



I'm just a cowboy...



Well I think I just heard a discouraging word



About them rattleing banging smoking farm machines
