Ballad Of Johnny Quest (song#6201) Have saddle, will ride, reads the card of the cowboy Rider of cattle trails that tried the very best His boots and his spurs were not just some strange decoy A rider of the range, the cowboy Johnny Quest Johnny Quest, Johnny Quest, cowboy of the wild west Have saddle, will ride where they need the very best Johnny Quest, Johnny Quest, cowboy of the wild west There's not a cattle trail unknown to Johnny Quest (instrumental) He rides the point to show the way they all must go He'll never disappoint even when storm winds blow There are cattle trail legends of which cowboys speak But there's only one for which cattle barons seek Johnny Quest, Johnny Quest, cowboy of the wild west Have saddle, will ride where they need the very best Johnny Quest, Johnny Quest, cowboy of the wild west There's not a cattle trail unknown to Johnny Quest Perfect Angels Can't Lie (Larry W Jones 09/12/2010) (song#6202) I'm hearing those same lies again Just like it's always been They all talk in hallways again Their stories I don't buy Perfect angels can't lie Don't know why they find fault with you Their lies cannot be true Dear, they should be exalting you I'll never ask them why Perfect angels can't lie Dear, I've had you too long in view I know your love is true It really doesn't bother me Someday, the truth they'll see Their stories don't apply Perfect angels can't lie (instrumental) Don't know why they find fault with you Their lies cannot be true Dear, they should be exalting you I'll never ask them why Perfect angels can't lie Dear, I've had you too long in view I know your love is true It really doesn't bother me Someday, the truth they'll see Their stories don't apply Perfect angels can't lie Longhorn Spread (Larry W Jones 09/13/2010) (song#6203) The Lord made me to be a western man With a little spread in some Texas land Now, I'm not a rich man but I'm well fed Because the Lord gave me a longhorn spread My hands are calloused and my face has lines This ranch ain't no palace but it's all mine A fortunate man eatin' sourdough bread Because the Lord gave me a longhorn spread (instrumental) I round up longhorns at the break of day Fix the broken fences and bale some hay At end of day I settle in my bed And I thank the Lord for my longhorn spread I feel like I live in Heaven on earth I'm glad I've been a cowboy from my birth I've got no worries and I fear no dread All thanks to the Lord and my longhorn spread Texas Rocket (Larry W Jones 09/13/2010) (song#6204) Well, I was about seven in nineteen thirty seven And I knew what the Corsicana train depot was for It was for those locomotives, big and black and dirty And there was one due at the depot at seven thirty It was still early in the evening when the train was due And my Mama and Daddy were waiting there with me too They were talking 'bout a locomotive that was brand new One they called the Texas Rocket was about to debut The thirty two seat baggage dinette coach was named Dream Lake And the long Mesa Verde coach called for a double take The Centennial observation car gave heart attacks When the Texas Rocket came rolling down the railroad tracks My Daddy couldn't believe the crowd, there were so many Mama jerked me back from trying to put down a penny Look out, she yelled at me, like a wound up Pollyanna The new Texas Rocket was screaming through Corsicana She was rolling like a mad dog cyclone and so streamlined A boy like me had never seen such a thing as her kind I must have looked like both my eyes were bulged from their sockets When I saw that train go by they called the Texas Rocket High Sierra Sequoia Pine (Larry W Jones 09/13/2010) (song#6205) In the high Sierras grew a Sequoia pine Next to where I met with sweet Molly long ago The stars were shining brightly as our hearts entwined There beside that high Sierra Sequoia pine (instrumental) We sang western songs of love like the evening dove As we watched the harvest moon and the stars align The love in Molly's eyes showed there was no disguise She said she'd be mine by that high Sequoia pine (instrumental) Don't forget, sweet Molly, when I lay down to die Of the truthful promises to you that I gave Don't you live in sadness and don't forever cry Just let a few teardrops grow flowers o're my grave (instrumental) Dear, I will soon be gone but you must carry on Please give me one last kiss from lips as sweet as wine Adios Molly darling, this will end our song Here beside this high Sierra Sequoia pine All My Broken Dreams (Larry W Jones 09/13/2010) (song#6206) I pack away the pictures that I took with you Dear, you look so beautiful in all of those scenes No words now are spoken of those glad times we knew They recall all my broken dreams I'll dream of you darlin', each night and day In sunshine and when moonlight gleams As a small token, they will light my way And recall all my broken dreams (instrumental) All my dreams are of the past when good times we had I thought our love would flow just like the peaceful streams But I was awoken when vows of love turned sad I recall all my broken dreams I'll dream of you darlin', each night and day In sunshine and when moonlight gleams As a small token, they will light my way And recall all my broken dreams They Named Me The Train (Larry W Jones 09/13/2010) (song#6207) They named me the train, I keep rolling down the track They named me the train, I keep rolling down the track All the same, I ain't ever coming back There's been a change in the weather, big change in me There's been a change

long (instrumental) They named me the train, I keep rolling down the track They named me the train, I keep rolling down the track All the same, I ain't ever coming back This train has a green light, I'm rolling down the track This train has a green light, I'm rolling down the track I'm in California and I ain't ever coming back They named me the train They named me the train Foggy River Bottom Blues (Larry W Jones 09/14/2010) (song#6208) I live in a foggy river bottom Down from a hill they call Moss Bluff Living in a foggy river bottom Gotta have skill and be boss tough I run trot lines in the foggy river And lay gill nets in the back slough Foggy river bottoms make me shiver This old fisherman pays his due I live in a foggy river bottom Down from a hill they call Moss Bluff Living in a foggy river bottom Gotta have skill and be boss tough (instrumental) I guess I'll never see that gal of mine She left Moss Bluff and went away The foggy river bottom sun don't shine Unless wind blows

teardrop blue Oh teardrop, it's time to begin Oh teardrop, you're winning again Why can't you just stop your crying Teardrop, you're not even trying There's so few days my eyes are dry And many ways

(Larry W Jones 09/14/2010) (song#6210) It ain't done until it's finally done One's a loser, the other one survives There's no use to say, darlin' won't you stay The hard part of departing just arrived My small bag is packed for the railroad track And that outbound train will arrive on time All I need is time and fresh air to breathe Departing is a great big hill to climb As I run things through my mind one more time I wonder at questions answers contrive My mind is charting the next lost love rhyme The hard part of departing just arrived (instrumental) My small bag is packed for the railroad track And that outbound train will arrive on time All I need is time and fresh air to breathe Departing is a great big hill to climb As I run things through my mind one more time I wonder at questions answers contrive My mind is charting the next lost love rhyme The hard part of departing just arrived The hard part of departing just arrived Honky Tonks Across Town (Larry W Jones 09/14/2010) (song#6211) Honky tonk doors, good cheer on the hardwood dance floors Music drowns out the sound of Lone Star beer that pours I'm a benefactor of the proprietor While I'm factoring in just what I'm livin' for I wear a frown knowing she's in her evening gown What's going down in those honky tonks across town I've heard some tales but I'll spare most of the details I'll just say that I'm in a love that always fails Now, the other part is about my broken heart Her departure was an unspoken work of art I've lost my Stetson crown and she's nowhere around What's going down in those honky tonks across town (instrumental) I've heard some tales but I'll spare most of the details I'll just say that I'm in a love that always fails Now, the other part is about my broken heart Her departure was an unspoken work of art I'm headed for a breakdown with bottles of brown What's going down in those honky tonks across town I know just where she can be found What's going down in those honky tonks across town Nashville Smash (Larry W Jones 09/15/2010) (song#6212) I recall all those rash times in Nashville Watching all those country stars making cash I thought I could make it big in Nashville My old guitar would be a Nashville smash The moon was shining bright over Nashville Soon I'd be making my big Opry splash They'd hear me on radio in Nashville I'd be a real star, a big Nashville smash (instrumental) The moon was shining bright over Nashville Soon I'd be making my big Opry splash They'd hear me on radio in Nashville I'd be a real star, a big Nashville smash I recall all those rash times in Nashville Starlets listened to all my cowboy trash They're still there but I'm long gone from Nashville I was wrong 'bout being a Nashville smash Well, this here song is all that I recall And rehash 'bout being a Nashville smash Same Old Place At A Future Time (Larry W Jones 09/15/2010) (song#6213) I see they're closing up the place The neon lights still light your face The jukebox swallowed my last dime I'll look for you in this same old place at a future time They're stacking the chairs one by one Tonight the dance with you is done I'll be in that small room of mine I'll look for you in this same old place at a future time That small room of mine will greet me Then big loneliness will meet me Those steep stairs will be hard to climb I'll weep til you're in this same old place at a future time (instrumental) They're stacking the chairs one by one Tonight the dance with you is done I'll be in that small room of mine I'll look for you in this same old place at a future time That small room of mine will greet me Then big loneliness will meet me Those steep stairs will be hard to climb I'll weep til you're in this same old place at a future time Under A Dark Cloud Of Thunder (Larry W Jones 09/15/2010) (song#6214) I can't explain just how it developed This pain I have now from one I adored I only know that I'm now enveloped Under a dark cloud as never before She left me one day, left me asunder Without a last word or reason of why I live under a dark cloud of thunder And I'll wonder til the day that I die I live under a dark cloud of thunder That's bound to enshroud the cold falling rain The love I found turned out to be plunder Instead of roses that bloom in the spring (instrumental) She left me one day, left me asunder Without a last word or reason of why I live under a dark cloud of thunder And I'll wonder til the day that I die I live under a dark cloud of thunder That's bound to enshroud the cold falling rain The love I found turned out to be plunder Instead of roses that bloom in the spring Tony Lama's Boots (Larry W Jones 09/12/2010) (song#6215) My dear, I thought I had missed my last chance for love Because everything for me seemed like it was lost But your dear Tony walked out on you with a shove Well, I'll try to fill Tony's boots where he left off I'll fill Tony Lama's boots as best as I can But I don't know if my best will be good enough I've got Tony Lama's boots to fill like a man Filling Tony Lama's boots might be awful tough (instrumental) Oh, I guess your pride must be hurt to have lost him And truth can be hard to face when it's in your roots Well dear, I can't promise everything on a whim But I'll try my best to fill Tony Lama's boots I'll fill Tony Lama's boots as best as I can But I don't know if my best will be good enough I've got Tony Lama's boots to fill like a man Filling Tony Lama's boots might be awful tough I'll fill Tony Lama's boots as best as I can Just Past The Point Of No Return (Larry W Jones 09/15/2010) (song#6216) Darling, your love once grew for me Now I'm no longer your concern Our love is through and now will be Just past the point of no return I see your face in every dream And it's so clear what I discern My hopes have drifted far downstream Just past the point of no return I'm so lonely all of the time But my heart will forever burn As the memory of you winds Just past the point of no return (instrumental) I see your face in every dream And it's so clear what I discern My hopes have drifted far downstream Just past the point of no return I'm so lonely all of the time But my heart will forever burn As the memory of you winds Just past the point of no return No Such Thing As A Good Goodbye (Larry W Jones 09/15/2010) (song#6217) Well, I guess it's time to leave, it's been coming for awhile It's not what I want to do, it really is not my style We haven't far to go before our eyes will want to cry And I guess in love there's no such thing as a good goodbye Goodbyes are easy to say if only meant for a day But by and by you and I are gonna cry come what may Dear, I must confess that I never thought our dreams would die And I guess in love there's no such thing as a good goodbye (instrumental) Well, I guess it's time to leave, clock is ticking off the hours I know we're both gonna grieve for our fallen ivory tower I don't know where I will go or what good it is to try And I guess in love there's no such thing as a good goodbye Goodbyes are easy to say if only meant for a day But by and by you and I are gonna cry come what may Dear, I must confess that I never thought our dreams would die And I guess in love there's no such thing as a good goodbye There's no such thing as a good goodbye Rags And Riches (Larry W Jones 09/16/2010) (song#6218) Rags and riches and miles along the road He never smiles when he's under his load He picks up the rags the rich folks throw down It seems like a long time he's been around His hat is crumpled, his clothes are rumpled The ragged old man has not much to say Picking up rags and riches thrown his way Some townfolks laugh until they're in stiches Laughing about his rags and their riches He picks up the rags the rich folks throw down Their rags are his riches, his beggar's crown (instrumental) His hat is crumpled, his clothes are rumpled From picking up old rags along the road He puts up with rain and puts up with pain Shouldering the sack of rags that's his load Fam'ly relations, I guess he has none No one here will care when his days are done Old rags and riches have been his life's code Rags and riches and miles along the road He never smiles when he's under his load He picks up the rags the rich folks throw down It seems like a long time he's been around Their rags are his riches, his beggar's crown Sailing Away From Galveston (Larry W Jones 09/16/2010) (song#6219) She was the toast of the Galveston coast She blew in like a cat five hurricane Like stormy waters around Galveston That kind of daughter drives a man insane Like the Galveston sand that she stood on Her promise of true love got washed away Tomorrow at the quay, days here are done I'll be sailing away from Galveston (instrumental) I thought my ship of love really came in When she dropped anchor in Galveston Bay But there she played her confidence game in So it makes sense for me to sail away Like waves that crash on Galveston's seawall My dreams crashed and burned in the Texas sun So there's no more reasons for me to stall I'll be sailing away from Galveston Undetectable Tears (Larry W Jones 09/16/2010) (song# 6220) Undetectable tears are what I cry My poor heart is in predictable pain It's perceptible that our love has died Undetectable tears will fall again Though love will burn, you will never return To my collectable dreams from the past Dear, how can I feel dreams that are not real Undetectable tears are falling fast There are no accessible arms and heart It's addressable that I will be blue I'm incapable of making a new start Undetectable tears will fall for you (instrumental) There are no accessible arms and heart I'm incapable of making a new start Undetectable tears are what I cry My poor heart is in predictable pain It's perceptible that our love has died Undetectable tears will fall again Undetectable tears will fall again Round Trip Ticket To The Blues (Larry W Jones 09/16/2010) (song#6221) I went from being blue to being in your arms I fell for your charms never thinking I could lose Gotta get a grip 'fore I'm in the funny farm Your love was just a round trip ticket to the blues Your love was just a round trip ticket for my fears On the old circle route of love that I can't use The wheel in the mill stream is driven by my tears Your love was just a round trip ticket to the blues (instrumental) I went around and tried to find somebody new After you lied and treated me so bad and rude But after you, my dear, I know what's coming due Your love was just a round trip ticket to the blues Your love was just a round trip ticket for my fears On the old circle route of love that I can't use The wheel in the mill stream is driven by my tears Your love was just a round trip ticket to the blues I Know Just Where You Are Tonight (Larry W Jones 09/17/2010) (song#6222) At midnight I get so blue and lonely I know this feeling just ain't right To feel the old way I do about you I know just where you are tonight Downtown honky tonks to you are calling For dancing under neon lights There's no romancing for tears now falling I know just where you are tonight (instrumental) Dear, you never gave your heart completely To one who for you deeply cared But you gave your heart to someone sweetly Who now will know the love we shared Downtown honky tonks to you are calling For dancing under neon lights There's no romancing for tears now falling I know just where you are tonight Dry Your Tears And Be My Only One (Larry W Jones 09/17/2010) (song#6223) There's a silver line in each dark cloud you're seeing Silver stars in every night sky above There's a face in every full moon that's agreeing When I tell you there is hope for true love There are diamonds in rocks that always look so rough Rainbows always form when the storms are done My love will be warm dear, and more than just enough So dry your tears and be my only one (instrumental) There's a bluebird up in the treetop that's singing A song for someone blue to stop and see That there's someone for whom wedding bells are ringing And that someone who's waiting there is me There are diamonds in rocks that always look so rough Rainbows always form when the storms are done My love will be warm dear, and more than just enough So dry your tears and be my only one How Wide Is The Prairie (Larry W Jones 09/17/2010) (song#6224) Just how much will I strive to have you as my bride How wide is the prairie, how high the Great Divide How many corral rails will it take to fence you in I'll ride as many trails as makes sense just to win Just how far will I ride to be there where you are How far does a blazing star go in skies afar I will never lose you, no matter where you go I will ever choose you however winds may blow (instrumental) Just how much will I strive to have you as my bride How wide is the prairie, how high the Great Divide Just how far will I ride to be there where you are How far does a blazing star go in skies afar I will never lose you, no matter where you go I will ever choose you however winds may blow Just how much will I strive to have you as my bride How wide is the prairie, how high the Great Divide Cowboy Music's Come And Gone (Larry W Jones 09/17/2010) (song#6225) They say that cowboy music's come and gone It's no longer sung on the silver screen They say that cowboy music's come and gone Ain't too many heard on the western scene Now what's a cowboy like me gonna do If good old cowboy music's come and gone What in the world is this world comin' to If it ain't got cowboys with western songs They say that cowboy music's come and gone It's no longer sung on the silver screen They say that cowboy music's come and gone Ain't too many heard on the western scene (instrumental) Well, one day I was ridin' through the draw When I saw a lone cowboy far away Singin' 'bout it bein' against the law For cowboy music treated that-a-way They say that cowboy music's come and gone It's no longer sung on the silver screen They say that cowboy music's come and gone Ain't too many heard on the western scene Now what's a cowboy like me gonna do If good old cowboy music's come and gone What in the world is this world comin' to If it ain't got cowboys with western songs Big Tex Will Be Your Ex In Mexico (Larry W Jones 09/18/2010) (song#6226) You

She sent a rose to my cellblock With a small note that she had penned That she wished to roll back the clock So that my life would never end (instrumental) The warden believes my story But the old judge has had his say And the rose that will lay o'er me Will wither 'fore another day The rose is now just for mourning For an innocent heart I know And when tomorrow is dawning They'll find a cellblock and a rose Give Me A Golden Palomino (Larry W Jones 09/19/2010) (song#6230) Give me a golden palomino Give me an old western fiddle tune Give me the sweetest cowgirl I know And the love

like wind in a sail Just a-horsin' around Hundreds of saddle pals Somewhere back over my shoulder At the chaparral, I got me a gal Just a-horsin' around If I'm concerned, no matter where I'm at I just put on my cowboy hat And ride the trail again Just a-horsin' around (instrumental) Hundreds of saddle pals Somewhere back over my shoulder At the chaparral, I got me a gal Just a-horsin' around If I'm

Well, she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground It wasn't new but the best to be found She got so mad and then she came unwound Cause she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground The Dew Drop Inn was my old place to dwell Now there's nothing left but a burned out shell I recall that she said once upon a time That my old Dew Drop Inn ain't worth a dime Well, she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground It wasn't new but the best I have found She got so mad and then she came unwound Cause she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground (instrumental) The Dew Drop Inn played sad songs all night long I had always thought that I'd done no wrong I was wrong cause she burned it to the ground The Dew Drop Inn is now an ashes mound Well, she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground It wasn't new but the best to be found She got so mad and then she came unwound Cause she burned the Dew Drop Inn to the ground Freight Train Lullaby (Larry W Jones 09/19/2010) (song#6233) When I was a lad, I'd go to sleep every night And listen to that midnight freight train whistle blow I never dreamed of sheep because with all my might I dreamed of all the places that freight train might go In the morning I would run as fast as I could Down to the depot to watch freight trains rolling by The engineers would wave as though they understood Trains they were driving sang my freight train lullaby I'd lay pennies on the track and feel the rumbling If any freight train was nearby or out of sight Freight trains would flatten pennies and send them tumbling Like tumbling in bed for my freight train lullaby (instrumental) Oh, how much I wanted to touch those old freight trains To see if they were only dreams or really real I look out my window pane even when it rains To watch a big cast iron horse with a heart of steel When I hear an old freight train coming down the line And see a hobo in a boxcar passing by I wave to him as if he were a friend of mine And I dream at night of my freight train lullaby Harvest Moon Blues (Larry W Jones 09/20/2010) (song#6234) The harvest moon is rising once again, darling Dead leaves are falling from the treetop limbs above My mind is filled with memories again, darling On cool September eves I think of your warm love The September breeze is blowing through the trees now The harvest moon is rising in the sky so bright And like the autumn leaves that's dying on the bough My empty heart is crying for your love tonight These old harvest moon blues keep on with their haunting I can't go on because I'm missing you, my dear The harvest moon knows that it's your love I'm wanting I feel so blue and I'm now crying bitter tears (instrumental) Darling, I wonder where you are this September I wish our love was as bright as the moon above This autumn night all I can do is remember That you're now gone and I'm here all alone, my love The harvest moon is rising once again, darling Dead leaves are falling from the treetop limbs above My mind is filled with memories again, darling On cool September eves I think of your warm love King Of Texas Cattle Trails (Larry W Jones 09/20/2010) (song#6235) People say I should go to St Louis And git some learnin' about city things But I tell them they're full of pu-tooie I know 'bout cattle trails and western swing I know just why coyotes like to howl And I know how to hammer horseshoe nails I can spot whippoorwills and prairie owls Cause I'm the King of Texas Cattle Trails I dance with cowgirls at the old hoedown And I feed horses with the new hay bales Come roundup time you know I'll be around Cause I'm the King of Texas Cattle Trails (instrumental) I know things they don't know in St Louis And I could tell them all some long tall tales I don't pay no bills or them entrance fees Cause I'm the King of Texas Cattle

Cattle Trails Inside The Storm (Larry W Jones 09/20/2010) (song#6236) Inside the storm is a hidden rainbow Inside the dark a candle waits to glow Inside the gloom, there a smile you will find And in coming days your love will be mine Other loves I have tried before your own But only in you has true love been shown Inside the stories of gossip and lies You will see the truth right here in my eyes Inside the storm is a hidden rainbow Inside the dark a candle waits to glow Inside the gloom, there a smile you will find And in coming days your love will be mine (instrumental) Inside the cloud hides a bright silver line Inside the crowd walks a man of design Inside the words that could tear love apart You have now heard the true song of my heart Inside the storm is a hidden rainbow Inside the dark a candle waits to glow Inside the gloom, there a smile you will find And in coming days your love will be mine No Boots Bonnie (Larry W Jones 09/20/2010) (song#6237) A brown feathered whippoorwill sittin' on a hill Mama wanted chicken but Betty shot to kill She put it in a pot and picked its feathers clean The smallest prairie chicken that I've ever seen Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Well, Bonnie put on a dress so sunny It was her best dress but it looked funny Was made from a sack that held chicken feed Front matched the back with a calico weave Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Well, Bonnie rode into town one fine day The buckboard seat was just a bale of hay In the saloon she sent cowboys to Mars The sheriff sent Bonnie behind the bars Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Bonnie wanted to buy a pair of boots For the big rodeo and climb the chutes Well, Bonnie got throwed and she sang the blues Feet were too dang big for size twenty twos Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Now, Bonnie is a cowgirl and quite a lot Johnny is the cowboy that Bonnie caught He gave her a longhorn with just one horn No boots Bonnie feeds it fresh hay and corn Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Hey Howdy Ho, no boots Bonnie You're the gal for cowboy Johnny Fox Bandit Of Bandera (Larry W Jones 09/21/2010) (song#6238) El Zorro bandido, fox bandit of Bandera He was incognito, fox bandit of Bandera El Zorro had the fastest draw,

high noon Roping is fine at roundup time When the sage is in purple bloom (instrumental) Morning light shows old cookie's pan Is full of grub for every man They all line up behind the chuck For breakfast and a coffee can When the sun sets and then it gets Cool under the big western moon Fiddles ring with a western swing When the sage is in purple bloom (instrumental) They don't worry about weather Whether it's sunny, snow or hail Cowboys still ride through the heather Out on the lonesome cattle trails Now, some old pards have seen hard times But they're talk is never of gloom They'll

Jones 11/13/2011) (song#6394) I was on a trail drive out west a month or two The Cookie was the worst there was, named Blizzard Blue Ornery and nasty, a big plug he would chew I spoke up and asked for vittles from Blizzard Blue He poured a bowl from off the coals and then I knew There were trail lizards in the stew Mostly trail lizards in the stew Well, I fanned the flies and closed my eyes once or two I said, Billy, this looks silly, indeed it do His nostrils flared cause I had dared dispare his food He drew his gun and before I could run, I knew I would have to eat Billy’s trail drive treat of glue There were trail lizards in the stew Mostly trail lizards in the stew (instrumental) There were trail lizards in the stew Mostly trail lizards in the stew I gritted my teeth, ducked beneath the chuck wagon Then held my nose cause the scent that rose was gaggin’ I took a swallow, what followed was still waggin’ Billy asked me how I liked his trail drive dragon All I could say was, to this day, my tail’s draggin’ There were trail lizards in the stew Mostly trail lizards in the stew There were trail lizards in the stew Mostly trail lizards in the stew Cowboy Campfire Blues (Larry W.

Jones 11/13/2011) (song#6396) There were twelve horses in the remuda And only one young wrangler we could trust There were twelve horses in the remuda Wrangler Joe was eatin’ remuda dust It was early in the drive, Joe arrived On a starvin’ pony in a wind gust We all wondered how Wrangler Joe survived On that trail from Texas, get here or bust Joe said he didn’t want to leave his home But now he was looking as rough as rust We put him to work where he wouldn’t roam Wrangler Joe was eatin’ remuda dust Joe said he knew remuda horses well Cowboys could pick out their favorite ride It wasn’t long before we all could tell Joe worked the remuda with Texas pride Well, we drove longhorns up the Chisholm Trail While a norther was blowin’ strong and cold Joe kept twelve horses in remuda jail For cowboys needing fresh mounts Joe would hold Now, Wrangler Joe said he needed some rest None to be had, he would have to adjust Twelve horses in the remuda were stressed Wrangler Joe was eatin’ remuda dust The north wind picked up so we couldn’t see Through the dust that the whole herd would stampede Young Joe saddled the best remuda steeds So the cowboys could do their roundup deeds After all the cattle were safely corralled Cowboys rode mounts to the remuda pen They looked around for their remuda pal But Wrangler Joe was nowhere to be seen Next day at sunrise we were in despair For young Joe the wrangler we all could trust Had been trampled and so we said a prayer We buried Joe under remuda dust Loneliest Word There’s Ever Been (Larry W. Jones 11/14/2011) (song#6397) Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been Cold cereal from an old box begins my day And that’s been ever since I don’t know why or when Now, I’ve tried resetting time clocks in every way Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been I know you said I’d regret everything I’ve done I haven’t done anything wrong but I can’t win I’ve tried to forget that you were my only one Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been (instrumental) Now, my telephone has forgotten how to ring And love letters must have blown away in the wind Well, I’ve given up on just about everything Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been I know you said I’d regret everything I’ve done I haven’t done anything wrong but I can’t win I’ve tried to forget that you were my only one Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been Lonesome is the loneliest word there’s ever been Saddle Sore (Larry W. Jones 11/14/2011) (song#6398) Storms across the range, nothing here will ever change A cowboy’s life is mending fences by the score Pardner, there’s two things I would like to rearrange Now, one is bluer skies for this cowboy’s sore eyes And pard, the other is because I’m saddle sore That gal of mine has bluer eyes than western skies And I’ve settled for less time with her than before Now, it’s time to bid these new cowboy blues goodbye And ride back to the barn because I’m saddle sore (instrumental) Now, buffalo chips are down all over the ground And when the chips are down a cowboy knows the score I’m gonna take her to the dance and swing her round If this old cowboy ain’t too tired and saddle sore That gal of mine has bluer eyes than western skies And I’ve settled for less time with her than before Now, it’s time to bid these new cowboy blues goodbye And ride back to the barn because I’m saddle sore I’m gonna take her to the dance and swing her round If this old cowboy ain’t too tired and saddle sore Cookie's On My Tail (Larry W.
