Western Cowboy by Leadbelly
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
I made a half a million
Pullin' on the bridle reins
Come a ki-ki--yicky
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
I went to my girl's house
She's sittin' d'ere alone
Went to my girl's house
She's sittin' d'ere alone
I'm a poor western cowboy
A long way from home
Come a ki-ki--yicky
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
When I left my girl's house
She was rockin' in her rockin' chair
When I left my girl's house
She was rockin' in her rockin' chair
Poor western cowboy
Please don't you leave me here
Come a ki-ki--yicky
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
Went to my girl's house
Sitting deep down in my saddle
Went to my girl's house
Sitting deep down in my saddle
I'm the best western cowboy
That ever herd cattle
Come a ki-ki--yicky
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
Oh, de hardest battle
Was there ever on the western plains
Oh, de hardest battle
Was there ever on the western plains
