Cowboy Song (John Peel session, 1976) Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, the campfire light
The coyote call and the howling winds wail
So I′ll ride out to the old sundown

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange

Roll me over and turn me around
Help me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over, let me go
Riding in the rodeo


I was took in Texas I didn′t know her name
Lord, these southern girls seem the same
But down below the border in a town in Mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo

Roll me over and turn me around
Help me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over, let me go
Riding in the rodeo, yeah I know

Just roll me over and I'll turn around
And I'll move my fingers up and down, up and down

It′s okay Germany you can let yourself go
You can run with your, riding in the rodeo

Roll me over and turn me around
Help keep me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over, let me go
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy′s life
