The Marshall Tucker Band - Last Of The Singing Cowboys lyrics

In the corner of dark bar room Sat an ole' cowboy singin' western tunes Singin' songs he learned as a child All about the West back when it was wild He said he came from down Texas way The cowboys were tough The women the same way Said he was a star back in '31 Hollywood had liked him for some songs that he had done He's the last of the singin' cowboys Singin' songs of inspiration and joy Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay Aye He took a break, just to chug him down a beer C'mon folks holler out the songs you'd like to hear If I know one, I know a million tunes I'm not up here playin' for me This is all just for you And then he bragged on the Stinson hat that he wore Said it was the finest made since the war And he won the silver buckle ridin' on a cow And as he laughed he said I'll bet you're wonderin' how? He's the last of the singin' cowboys Singin' songs of inspiration and joy Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay A ye And after three hours or maybe more A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door The bartender said, "he's blind, you see Don't tell him the only audience he had was you and me" 'Cause he's the last of the singin' cowboys Singin songs of inspiration and joy Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Ay A ye
