9. Come, all you young people, And listen to my song: If it does you no good, my boys, I'm sure it'll do you no harm. When you fall in love with a fair, young girl, Go, marry her while you can; For if you wait to cross the plains, She'll marry another man. |

"The Rambling Cowboys." The song was recorded by Dora Testerman, a student in Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee.
1. Come, all you rambling cowboys,
While down your souls, for now I tell you a story,
While you around me stand: I'm going to quit this wide world,
This black and stormy place Where the Indians are, I leave you
To never return again.
2. I've crossed the Rocky Mountains;
I've crossed the rocky hill; I've crossed the Rocky Mountains,
While many a brave boy fell. I've seen the distant countries,
Both Indian and the White, But I'll never forget the old, old home
And mother's sweetly smile.
3. There was an old rich merchant,
Who lived in a neighborhood by; He had the only daughter;
On her I cast my eye; She was most tall and handsome,
Blue eyed and curly hair; There is no one in this wide world
With her I can compare. |
