Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day [C G D7 Em]
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. [C G D7 G]
All of the good gifts given today; [C G D7 Em]
Ours is the sky and the wide open range. [C G D7 G]
Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and
Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas for
Cowboys and wide open plains.
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the
Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;
Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the
snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky
and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
