Come and be a cowboy's sweetheart Come and learn to rope and ride We could ride over plains and deserts Out west off the great divide We could hear the coyotes howlin' And the sun sings in the west Come and be a cowboy's sweetheart That's the life you'll love the best ♪ Come and ride ol' Paint, goin' outta Gallup Come and feel the wind in your face A thousand miles from the city lights Going at a cowhand's pace We could pillar our heads in a sleepy world While the moon shines down from above And I'll strum my guitar and "yodel-o-ooh-dee" Just a cowboy and his golden love
