Happy Cowboy

 (Bob Nolan)

Hear my song as I ride along

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy

Herdin’ the dark clouds out of the sky.

Keeping the heavens blue.

Nowhere to go an’ nothin’ to do,

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy.

Let me ride that long trail down to the end

Where the skies are always blue.

Hear my song as I ride along

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy

Herdin’ the dark clouds out of the sky.

Keeping the heavens blue.

I ain’t got a wife to bother my life

I’m a just happy rovin’ cowboy.

Let me make my bed where the varmints prowl

Beneath a sky of blue.

Hear my song as I ride along

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy

Herdin’ the dark clouds out of the sky.

Keeping the heavens blue.

I ain’t got a dime, I'm jes’ spendin’ my time

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy

Let me sing my song till they call me home

To the land beyond the blue.

Hear my song as I ride along

I’m just a happy rovin’ cowboy

Herdin’ the dark clouds out of the sky.

Keeping the heavens blue.
