Lyrics:
The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled
Out on the Great Divide,
I never done no wrong, just singing a song,
As down the trail I ride.
Rattle
strength, so bold
Such greatness, behold
Cocksure and brave
Heed him or pay
Once you find your cattle, lead
No matter where you ride, the cattle trail
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
And I'm gazin' at the moon
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel . . .
Now we
A cattle trail drunk and a hard road to travel
That old Jack O' Diamonds is a hard card to play
Get along, get along, get along little doggies
Get along
Texas trail
Herding doggies is all that he knows
A cowboy's life on the old cattle trail
Leads from Texas to old Mexico
Forty miles on a cattle trail
With a half-dead mule and nothing on my mind
All my life I've been talking fast
Taking all the things that I should have
When you hear that i'm a cowboy, and i work the cattle trail.
You probably assume i'm big and tough (big and tough)
But the trail's worn me down, i
She was holding her breath and he attempted a prayer
And he was cussing the dust rising up in the air
'cause the old cattle trail, well, it weren't
When you hear that I'm a cowboy
And I work the cattle trail
You probably assume I'm big and tough (big and tough)
But the trail's worn me down
I
bound to get behind
There ain't no way to avoid it
Just don't let it break your mind
Is this a yellow brick cattle trail
Or interstate eighty five
By now
Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Six cowboys and one old man in another day of hell
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain
Passed a camper missing its silver lining
Leave an unsettled trail of dust
Cattle stampeding, bobbing, weaving
Restless trees swaying
The tall grass
I'll settle back in Sydney
But it's been so long and it's hard to change your mind
For the cattle trail goes on and on
And fences roam forever
And I
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
For the cattle trail goes
Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Six cowboys and one old man in another day of hell
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain
an endless trail
Rollin' thunder booms sending cattle to their doom
Stampede!
Stampede!
Stampede!....
When evening chores are over at our rach house on the plains
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
maybe start a brand new life
So many came here to live
But this is the story of one who came to die
We got gold in the hills, cattle on the trails

sanctuary are scouts soldiers muleskinners bullwhackers sage rats cold deck cardplayers trail hands cattle rustlers horse thieves land sharps which are you
Well, I was ridin' out on the trail
Herdin' cattle without fail
I'm dreamin' 'bout lyin' down on my dirty cot
When walkin' up outta the blue
Wearin'
And the cattle weighed
Then down the trail we go
To see the Rio flow
The golden sunset
I'm sure I'll not forget
With memories and dreams
All of you my love it
the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you
the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you
When the cattle are prowlin'
And the coyotes are howlin'
Under the western sky
The cowboy is singin'
His spurs are a-jinglin'
As on the trail he
