Текст песни A Cowboy's Life

A cowboy's life is a weary, dreary life
Some say it's free from care
Rounding up the cattle from morning till night
In the middle of the prairie so bare

Half past four, the noisy cook will roar
“Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!”
Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes –
The sweet dreamy night has passed away!

The wolves and owls with their terrifying howls
Disturb us in our midnight dream
As we lie on our slickers on a cold, rainy night
Way over on the Pecos Stream

Half past four, the noisy cook will roar
“Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!”
Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes –
The sweet dreamy night has passed away!

Spring time sets in – double trouble will begin!
The weather is so fierce and cold
Our clothes are wet and frozen to our neck
And the cattle we can scarcely hold

Half past four, the noisy cook will roar
“Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!”
Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes –
The sweet dreamy night has passed away!

A cowboy's life is a weary, dreary life
He's driven through the heat and cold
While the rich man's a-sleeping on his velvet couch
A-dreaming of his silver and his gold!

Half past four, the noisy cook will roar
“Whoop-awhoop-a-hey!”
Slowly you will rise with sleepy feeling eyes –
The sweet dreamy night has passed away!
