Little cowboy, you’ve been ridin’ since the early mornin’ sun
Find the mavericks where they’re hidin’, ropin’ dogies one by one
With your six-gun always ready, for the bad guy strikin’ you down
On your pinto strong and steady, you can run them right out of town.
There’s a friendly breeze always blowin’, makin’ tumbleweed tumble by,
And the purple sage where it’s growin’, seems to touch the distant prairie sky.
Now it’s evenin’, time for sleepin’, cattle lowin’ over the rise
‘Round the bunkhouse, shadows creepin’, little cowboy, close your eyes.
