Cowpoke Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

COWPOKE 

(Stan Jones) 

'58 Edwin H. Morris & Co 

I'm lonesome but happy rich but I'm broke 

And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke 

From Cheyenne to Douglas all the ranges I know 

Cause I drift with the wind no one cares where I go 

I ain't got a dime in these old worn out jeans 

So I'll stop eatin' steak and go back to beans 

I'll pick up a ten spot and press God I know 

Well I'm ridin' the broncs in the big rodeo 

Some evening in springtime a filly I'll find 

And we might spend all the summer with her on my mind 

But I'll never be branded and never be broke 

I'm a carefree range ridin' driftin' cowpoke
