Lone Buckaroo*
(Bob Nolan)
When the light of the moon is revealin’
A prairie of silver and blue,
Then a longing for someone comes stealin’
In the heart of this lone buckaroo.
Every night the prairie moon rolls on,
There’s a lonely cowboy ridin’.
Seems I hear him sing a carefree song
But it’s only tears he’s hidin’.
When the light of the moon is revealin’
A prairie of silver and blue,
Then a longing for someone comes stealin’
In the heart of this lone buckaroo.
Bob wrote another verse to this song -
Far into the night I hear his song
Softly on the breezes fallin’.
Even as the night bird wings along,
Vainly to his mate he’s callin’.
* A buckaroo is another word for cowboy - the anglicized version of vaquero.
