A Cowboys Hard Times Lyrics

A Cowboys Hard Times lyrics

A COWBOY'S HARD TIMES
Well, I once was a cowboy, and I used to run wild.
And I rodeoed, wrangled, and rambled in style.
But I'm too old for
horses, too old for the show,
And I'm too young for Heaven; now where
shall I go?
     Where shall I go?  Where shall I go?
     I'm too
young for Heaven; now where shall I go?
I had me a true love, and I made
her my wife,
And I swear that I loved her most all of my life,
But
the cold of the winter and the wind laid her low,
And she's gone on before
me, now where shall I go?
     Where shall I go?  Where shall I go?
  
  She's gone on before me; now where shall I go?
Well, I never was a
drunkard, but this I can say:
The taste of the whiskey gets better each
day.
The bartender scowls, "Mack, you're drinking too slow,
And we
close in ten minutes."  Now where shall I go?
     Where shall I go? 
Where shall I go?
     They close in ten minutes; now where shall I go?
     So it's out on the street with the stars burning bright,
     With
nothing but memories to share with the night.
Oh, I once was a cowboy, and
I used to run wild.
And I rodeoed, wrangled, and rambled in style.
Now
I'm too old for horses, too old for the show,
And I'm too young for Heaven;
now where shall I go?
