Cowboys they are ladies men alright They love 'em up & talk 'em up all night But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues He does a little Shakespere & he sings He plays the mandolin & other things He looks for love, beauty & I.Q. And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues Chorus..... Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt & all that bit Let thier hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit So ladies if they ask you don't refuse Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues inst verse......... Cowboys they don't ever understand This thing between a woman & a man Untill they find the one they always lose And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues Chorus....... A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand And tries to make somebody understand But she has ears to hear a different tune And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
