Boxcar Willie Cowboys And Horses Hobos And Trains Lyrics

Cowboys and horses hobos and trains They're gone forever from the rails and the planes. Cowboys and horses hobos and trains But Lord I'd like to see them again

Cowboys don't ride anymore on the range Tattered old hobos no longer catch trains Six-guns and saddles handouts and stew They're gone forever from a life that we knew The rails stand silent they're coated with rust The bunkhouse is empty all covered with dust And a ghostly voice sings refrains of Cattle Call And echoes fade on the old Cannon Ball

Cowboys and horses hobos and trains They're gone forever from the rails and the planes. Cowboys and horses hobos and trains But Lord I'd like to see them again
The sun is setting on a time long ago On cowboys and horses on trains and hobos And the pages of time they turn so endlessly And the things we love are just memories

Like Cowboys and horses hobos and trains They're gone forever from the rails and the planes. Yes Cowboys and horses hobos and trains But Lord I'd like to see them again

Oh what I'd give to see them again
