Christmas For Cowboys Lyrics - Denver John

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day 

Driving the cattle over snow covered plains 

All of the good gifts given today 

Ours is the sky and the wide open range 

Back in the cities they have different ways 

Football and eggnog and Christmas parades 

I'll take my blanket, I'll take the reins 

It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains 

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night 

The stars overhead are Christmas tree lights 

The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray 

It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains 

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day 

Driving the cattle over snow covered plains 

So many gifts have been opened today 

Ours is the sky and the wide open range
