A Memory Of Jim Lyrics - Singles - Fletcher Jowers

It's a story sad to tell 

About the end of life's trail 

For the best cowboy I've ever known 

He left here so young 

With his dreams still undone 

He moved on to that heavenly home 

A cowboy he was king 

He loved the roundups in spring 

And he loved Texas it was always his home 

We know The Lord understands 

How we miss our old friend 

Without you Jim how can we go on 

He'd save the best horse for you 

For him an old bronc would do 

He'd ride the bad one and never complain 

When you needed a hand 

He'd be there 'till the end 

He'd stand by you in sunshine or rain 

A cowboy he was king 

He could do anything 

His heart was made of pure gold 

It won't ever seem right 

It still cuts like a knife 

Without you Jim how can we go on 

Green pastures now he rides 

On that range beyond the skies 

In that country where he'll never grow old 

On a good horse he'll fly 

With the angels by his side 

Running freely down trails of shining gold 

A cowboy he was king 

We'd laugh and we'd sing 

His favorite was The Strawberry Roan 

So adios my good friend 

Someday we'll ride again 

Without you Jim how can we go on
