Testo When I Was A Cowboy - Ralph McTell

Testo della canzone When I Was A Cowboy (Ralph McTell), tratta dall'album 1970s Singer/Songwriter Gold

I was a cowboy

Back in the alley

Me and my six-gun

Kept the law on the prairie

I remember my first horse well

He was lean but a fast one

We travelled miles together

Until he got stolen

And the sheriff said, "Get a later bed

And always keep your hat screwed on real tight

Case you get in a fight"

Well, that's one of the tricks that you must employ

If you wanna be a cowboy

I've travelled far from home

Even jumped freight trains

Threw stones in the ocean

Slept out in the cold rain

It was down in some southern town

And the music was playin'

And the people were talkin' so loud

They heard no words I was sayin'

And the sheriff said, "Get a later bed

And always keep your hat screwed on real tight

Case you get in a fight"

Well, that's one of the tricks that you must employ

If you wanna be a cowboy

I dreamed of a mountain

With one lonesome rider

He was ragged and tattered

But he carried a sabre

And all through the canyon

You could hear his bones rattle

He was dead on a dyin' horse

And he was tied to the saddle

And the sheriff said, "Get a later bed

And always keep your hat screwed on real tight

Case you get in a fight"

Well, that's one of the tricks that you must employ

If you wanna be a cowboy

I was a cowboy

Out on the prairie

Life sure is easier

Back home in the alley

And the sheriff said, "Get a later bed

And always keep your hat screwed on real tight

Case you get in a fight"

Well, that's one of the tricks that you must employ

If you wanna be a cowboy
