Dear old western skies

 I wanna go

Where the longhorn cattle roam

Dear old western skies

 There’ll never be

Another place like my old home

 It seems that I can hear

 The cattle lowin’

Seems that I can see

 The purple sage blowin’

 I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies

 By and by

 Under dear old western skies

 The cowboy may roam from his homeland

 Way out on the great divide

 But in his heart he will still be a cowboy

 And long for his pony to ride

Instrumental break

 It seems that I can hear

 The cattle lowin’

Seems that I can see

 The purple sage blowin’

 I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies

 By and by

 Under dear old western skies
