Ballad Of A Cowboy Star
Ride on, ride on cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
Lived a cowboy in our town, best top-hand from all around
Tall and handsome, lanky bones, folks just called him cowboy Jones
He loved a cowgirl named Jane, who lived down a country lane
Ride on, ride on cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
(Instrumental)
Jones was best in all the west, but with that was not obsessed
He cared not, this cowboy star, for some other girl he swore
He loved a cowgirl named Jane, who lived down a country lane
Ride on, ride on, cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
Jones would marry her next June, under a full Texas moon
Then a man with lots of dough, offered Jones the rodeo
He left his cowgirl named Jane, who lived down a country lane
Ride on, ride o,n cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
(Instrumental)
Jones became a cowboy star, Texas wide and then afar
Trophy buckles and a name, something was lost in his fame
He missed his cowgirl named Jane, who lived down a country lane
Ride on, ride on, cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
So one day the cowboy star, packed his saddle, spurs, guitar
Quit the rodeo and fame, headed home to things mundane
Married his cowgirl named Jane, who lived down a country lane
Cowboy Jones ‘til now remains, down the lane with cowgirl Jane
Ride on, ride on, cowboy star, top-hand cowboy’s what you are
