Hein & Oss - A Cowboy's Life lyrics

A cowboy's life is a weary, dreary life Some say it's free from care Rounding up the cattle from morning till night In the middle of the prairie so bare Half past four, the noisy cook will roar "Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!" Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes – The sweet dreamy night has pa**ed away! The wolves and owls with their terrifying howls Disturb us in our midnight dream As we lie on our slickers on a cold, rainy night Way over on the Pecos Stream Half past four, the noisy cook will roar "Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!" Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes – The sweet dreamy night has pa**ed away! Spring time sets in – double trouble will begin! The weather is so fierce and cold Our clothes are wet and frozen to our neck And the cattle we can scarcely hold Half past four, the noisy cook will roar "Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!" Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes – The sweet dreamy night has pa**ed away! A cowboy's life is a weary, dreary life He's driven through the heat and cold While the rich man's a-sleeping on his velvet couch A-dreaming of his silver and his gold! Half past four, the noisy cook will roar "Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!" Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes – The sweet dreamy night has pa**ed away!
