A Cowboys Good-Bye
The time has come for me to
say,
Good-bye to cowboy friends.
Through our trails may be miles
apart.
May our friendship never ends.
This gather’s going to be my
last,
For soon I’m headed South.
When spring brandin’ smoke is
in the air
I’ll shed a tear no doubt.
You all have meant so much to
me,
Of my life you’re now apart.
Each one of you has got a
bunkhouse space
That’s deep here in my heart.
Good-bye to you and Oregon
For you see I’m Prineville
bound.
No more my pony’s feet on rocks
They’ll tread a softer ground
And though I’ll never ride
again.
Up here where the eagles scream
I’ll ride forever with each one
of you
Through these mountains in my
dreams!
