John Ed Sang Cowpoke Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

When the rodeo was over 

We're all go to the room 

We're drink some beer, relax awhile 

And sing some cowboy tunes 

That old guitar we passed around 

It was battered, scratched, and broke 

But Lord, it sounded mighty fine 

When John Ed sang 'Cowpoke' 

Ben he'd think of some old tune 

And he'd really wail away 

Dunder'd play the spoons and sing 

Until the break of day 

Clyde, he'd tell a poem or two 

And old Rich, he's crack a joke 

But damn, it nearly make you cry 

When John Ed sang 'Cowpoke' 

Someday this road I travel 

Lord, I will leave behind 

But memories of the things I've seen 

Will never leave my mind 

On a quiet summer's evening 

When the sun is sinking low 

I'll think again of days gone by 

When John Ed sang 'Cowpoke'
