Lonesome Cowboy
Chris de Burgh
And then that lonesome cowboy looked up at the stars in the sky "I will leave my land and my horses on that midnight train I will ride To the city far across the plains To that city on that midnight train here it comes Choo choo choobe choobeduwa Choo choo choobeduwee Choo choo choobe choobeduwa On that midnight train" And then that lonesome cowboy stepped into a bar A pretty girl slid over nice and easy "boy your money won’t go far." She took him outside to an alley he got dragged into a fight And a bullet sent him dying and he cursed that moonless night In that city far across the plains In that city he could hear that midnight train down the line Choo choo choobe choobeduwa Choo choo choobeduwee Choo choo choobe choobeduwa He could hear that midnight train And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay His horses they’re still waiting for he is gone away Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill All you cowboys take it easy there’s no grass there at all In that city far across the plains In that city you’d better miss that midnight train here it comes Choo choo choobe choobeduwa Choo choo choobeduwee Choo choo choobe choobeduwa You’d better miss that midnight train Choo choo choobe choobeduwa Choo choo choobeduwee Choo choo choobe choobeduwa That train is coming for you...
