Lyrics:
Far across the blue waters
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her
But I can't forget
Sweet Indian maiden, since first I met you,
I can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart.
Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling,
My heart
divine,
I'd worship at your shrine,
Sweetheart, if you were only mine!
Life would be so divine,
I'd worship at your shrine,
Sweetheart, if you were
you know my body hurt
It being summer, I took off my shirt
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
West Texas cowboys, they was all around
cowboy man
Now I ain't never been no cowboy
But heaven knows I try
Cause I'll be riding tall in my saddle
With that Cinderella by my side
And I
They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas
Or disco down on Galveston Bay
But when God made them West Texas cowboys
He gave them the Pecos Promenade
notches were carved in his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone
One night when Bill was returning
From ridin' the range
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine
With a head full of music and an old nursery
you by the hand just inside the pearly gates.
(Buck Owens & Rose Maddox)
Chorus:
Will there be sweethearts in heaven
After we cross the line
If
They'll probably take that word out of it
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still
then let me show you, darlin',
a little cowboy love.
Underneath the midnight moonlight,
cuddled up real tight, cozied down by a fire,
list'nin'
Far across the blue waters
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her
But I can't forget
the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong"
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
wander
Out where the lights are bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight.
Now, Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
you dream
No more tears to cry
Nothin' left to say, but
Baby baby, bye-bye
I once was your sweetheart
Now you found a new sweetheart
Hate to see
as cold as the clay
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
These words he did speak as I slowly walked by
Come sit here beside me and hear my sad story
Sweet Indian maiden, since first I met you,
I can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart.
Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling,
My heart
Sweet Indian maiden, since first I met you,
I can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart.
Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling,
My heart
On a Sunday morn sat a maid forlorn
With her sweetheart by her side,
Through the windowpane, she looked at the rain,
"We must stay home, Joe,"
My girl don't like my cowboy hat
She says that it's so yucky
My girl don't like my cowboy hat
But she don't know how lucky
She is to have a man like
Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day sweetheart I find
These are the ties that bind
I gotta walk alone
My sweetheart's gone
Nobody here loves me now
It's a long and lonesome road
I've got to walk alone
All the friends I knew
finish
We'd ask the old cowboy
To tell 'em again
You could almost hear
Those prairie winds blowing
His saddle a creakin'
Beneath his old faded
brightened our pathway a while
Then come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy that's
