Verse 1
Cowboys they are ladies men alright
They love 'em up and talk 'em up all night
But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
He does a little Shakespeare and he sings
He plays the mandolin and other things
He looks for love,beauty and I.Q.
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
Chorus
Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt and all that bit
Let their heart hangs out so they can wright you all a hit
So ladies if they ask you,don't refuse
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
Verse 2
Cowboys they don't ever understand
This thing between a woman and a man
Until they find the one they always lose
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand
Tries to make somebody understand
She has ears to hear a different tune
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
Chorus.
