Chris Ledoux Working Cowboy Blues Lyrics

Working Cowboy Blues Lyrics

Discouraged is the word these days at homes acros the range



The livestock markets down and it don't look like it's gonna change 



Nobody's found a cure for what we are goin' through 



But I'll tell you boys just what I'm gonna do



Well I'm gonna saddle up old paint right after shipping time



Ride out on the mountain among the aspens and the pines



Take along my fishing pole and leave my cares behind



And find myself a little piece of mind



I'm gonna ride up on the mountain live like a mountain man



Lay my body on the ground eat from a fryin' pan



I know it's not the answer but I'm gonna try to lose



These dog gone low down workin' cowboy blues







Well next year it might get better aw thats what they always say



But I've seen a string of next years come and Lord they're all the same



But as long as there's a mountain, someplace to get away



Well this old cowboy just might not go insane



I'm gonna ride up on the mountain...



These dog gone low down lonesome workin' cowboy blues
