Torbert The moon beamed down so lightly, on distant field of clover The gypsy cowboy wanders, because he know it's over And everything so quiet, the town is down in slumber His cowboy lady mutters, "let's roll another number" Oh, oh so sad The trouble that's in this old world It makes me so sad Oh, oh so sad Mama cried And o'er the field of clover, an angel band was singing
With maidens throwing roses, and heaven's lights were screaming Calling through the darkness, the voice of one man's brother Spouting discontentment, of one way or the other (note 1) Oh, oh so sad You build it up you tear it down Oh it makes me so sad Oh, oh so sad Mama cried
