Cowcamp Blues

(album: Paint Me Back Home In Wyoming - 1978)

The moon is shinning down through the pines
And it spreads its light across the mountain side
And I wonder what you're doing tonight
Yes I wonder what you're doing and I wonder if everythings alright
Well I'm up on this mountain and you're there in town
Sleeping in your feather bed and I'm laying on the ground
I never knew that I could feel so lost and all alone
And singing such a lonesome cowboy song

Well I'm just a cowboy I'm working all day long
At night I eat my beef and beans and then I sing this song
Yes I wonder what you're doing tonight
Yes I wonder what you're doing and I wonder if everthing's all right
Well I'm up on this mountain...

Now them calves are bawling and I can't get no rest
That cold wind's a blowing and I'm freezing half to death
Yes I wonder what you're doing tonight
Yes I wonder what you're doing and I wonder if everthing's all right
Well I'm up on this mountain...

It won't be long now and I'll be coming down
And I better not find any rednecks hanging round
Yes I wonder what you're doing tonight
Yes I wonder what you're doing and I wonder if everthing's all right
Well I'm up on this mountain...
