Johnny Cash, Jack Wesley Routh - The Greatest Cowboy of Them All lyrics
[Johnny Cash, Jack Wesley Routh - The Greatest Cowboy of Them All lyrics]
I have always had my heroes I've
Loved a lot of legends
Many men in my mind are riding tall
But my cowboy hero hats off to
The man who rode a donkey
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He loves all his little doggies he
Speaks to them kind and gently
And he'll lift up any maverick that falls
He sees every stray that scatters like
It's the only one that matters
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
But some returning sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I gotta get my roll together
Gettin' ready for that sunrise
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail he rides is narrow but
It's straighter than an arrow
And he rides point for all
The great and small
He will take us through the wire
Onto that plain that's higher
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Loved a lot of legends
Many men in my mind are riding tall
But my cowboy hero hats off to
The man who rode a donkey
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He loves all his little doggies he
Speaks to them kind and gently
And he'll lift up any maverick that falls
He sees every stray that scatters like
It's the only one that matters
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
But some returning sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I gotta get my roll together
Gettin' ready for that sunrise
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail he rides is narrow but
It's straighter than an arrow
And he rides point for all
The great and small
He will take us through the wire
Onto that plain that's higher
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
