Well, he's up at the crack of dawn, puttin' thoes big boots on
Pullin' thoes calves in the snow has left him tired
There's tension in the air as he thinks of th ecritters ou there
The grazin' gone, the winter has hit 'em hard! 

Cowboy, great American Cowboy -
Big high boots, Steston hat, and a lether vest
Cowboy, Great Amereican Cowboy -
With a hoss and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

Well, he's up at the crack of dawn, puttin' thoes wookies on
The wind's so cold the chills are runnin' down his back
The cattle range is froze, and every little dogie knows
He's an angel of mercy mounted on a horse's back 

Cowboy, great American Cowboy -
Big high boots, Steston hat, and a lether vest
Cowboy, Great Amereican Cowboy -
With a hoss and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

Well, he's up at the crack of dawn, cinchin' that saddle on...
Stormin' hard and things are lookin'g mighty grim
There's a long ride ahead that day choppin' ice and a-feedin' hay
'Cause he knows every critter's life depends on him! 

Cowboy, great American Cowboy -
Big high boots, Steston hat, and a lether vest
Cowboy, Great Amereican Cowboy -
With a hoss and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

Well, he's up at the crack of dawn, puttin' that bacon on...
Winter is past and the skies are clear and blue
There's springtime everywhere, and the dogies are a-frolikin' there...
And he's thankin' the Lord once more for a-seein' 'em through 

Cowboy, great American Cowboy -
Big high boots, Steston hat, and a lether vest
Cowboy, Great Amereican Cowboy -
With a hoss and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

Well he's up at the crack of dawn puttin' that Stetson on...
Headin' for the "Daddy Of 'Em All" to celebrate
Well, he busts out of that chute, ridin' that wild galoot
Smilin' and a-rolin' his own as he counts to eight! 

Cowboy, great American Cowboy -
Big high boots, Steston hat, and a lether vest
Cowboy, Great Amereican Cowboy -
With a hoss and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

With a hos and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West!
With a hos and a rope and a gun, he tamed the West! 

Cowboy, Cowboy,
COWBOY, COWBOY!!!
