Homestead Mansion

Homestead Mansion (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6552) Old tin cans for flower pots, burlap sacks for rugs Overalls and calico, lives of lowly mugs But good land is our homestead and we’re livin’ free There ain’t no landlord here to tell us what to be Small rickety log shack, tar papered all in black Now, the old chimney points south from the cold north wind The windows are few but the curtains are all blue In my view it’s a homestead mansion since back when (instrumental) Small rickety log shack, tar papered all in black Now, the old chimney points south from the cold north wind The windows are few but the curtains are all blue In my view it’s a homestead mansion since back when Our little homestead shack, there’s a lot that it lacks But yet it still has the knack to look so home-like Both our hands built it and now we both fit in it Our homestead mansion will have to do for us two Our homestead mansion is home sweet home for us two ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

On The Lone Side Of Lonely

On The Lone Side Of Lonely (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6551) On the lone side of lonely is where I will be On the lone side of lonely is where you’ll find me Still holding on to mem’ries of what used to be On the lone side of lonely since you have left me On the lone side of lonely I have company On the lone side of lonely my past follows me I hold onto hopes dear, that you’ll return and see On the lone side of lonely is not meant for me (instrumental) On the lone side of lonely I have company On the lone side of lonely my past follows me On the lone side of lonely is where I will be On the lone side of lonely is where you’ll find me Still holding on to mem’ries of what used to be On the lone side of lonely since you have left me I hold onto hopes dear, that you’ll return and see On the lone side of lonely is not meant for me On the lone side of lonely is where you’ll find me ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

No Matter What Cowboy You Are

No Matter What Cowboy You Are (Larry W. Jones 01/24/2012) (song #6550) You’re just an old cowboy, and that’s all you will be For all you can offer is a range of the free The thoughts of your wanderin’ heart are always too far No matter what cowboy you are No matter what cowboy you are No matter what cowgirl gives you kissin’ so fine You’ll be long gone and missin’ in just a short time Cowboy, your guiding light is a wandering star No matter what cowboy you are No matter what cowboy you are (instrumental) The open range is your lover, always will be Cowboy, your kind of roving looks somewhat like me They’ll all sing about you on their campfire guitars No matter what cowboy you are No matter what cowboy you are You have no woman’s warm arms to hold you at night Cause you’re out on the range under stars shining bright The thoughts of your wanderin’ heart are always too far No matter what cowboy you are No matter what cowboy you are ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

My Texian Cowgirl

My Texian Cowgirl (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6549) I see my cowgirl in the Texian sunlight And I see my cowgirl in the Texian Fall I see her riding in sunny April gladness And hear her soft voice in whippoorwills call I told the dogies in the pasture and prairie dogs in the ground To everyone I shouted about the true love that I had found My heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood tree And it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with me (instrumental) My heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood tree And it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with me I see my cowgirl in the Texian sunlight And I see my cowgirl in the Texian Fall I see her riding in sunny April gladness And hear her soft voice in whippoorwills call I told the dogies in the pasture and prairie dogs in the ground To everyone I shouted about the true love that I had found My heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood tree And it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with me My Texian cowgirl is in love with me ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Kingwood Kowboy

Kingwood Kowboy (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6548) Boys, I write for the old cowboy nation And I hope my songs bring you fellows joy I wonder if the next generation Will remember the Kingwood Kowboy Now, I have traveled the wide world over And many odd jobs have seen my employ It’s my time to rest under the clover That will soon welcome the Kingwood Kowboy Cowboy songs I’ve written melodial Some were happy while some were sad or coy But my best were of cowboys jovial So boys, think well of the Kingwood Kowboy I can now see the coming last roundup That memories of trails will soon destroy But boys, flowers will grow from the ground up To remind you of the Kingwood Kowboy Now, when I am laid out in fine linen Pardners, my old cowboy songs redeploy When you lower the lid of the coffin Sing an old song for the Kingwood Kowboy And when on the old wagon they bear me Ladies may weep over the real McCoy For there will come no other to compare me There will be no other Kingwood Kowboy Boys, go and find some jovial fellows And let them stagger as they all deploy To dig me a deep grave in the meadow And drink whiskey to the Kingwood Kowboy Then get a couple of granite grave stones For my head and my feet just like Rob Roy And then boys, scratch on them, here lies the bones Of the old song writer, Kingwood Kowboy Then may all of you jovial cowboys Surround my cold prairie grave full of joy Drink whiskey til all of you will annoy The mem’ry of the old Kingwood Kowboy ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
