Cowboy Song from Giggles by Dave Gibb

Cowboy Song
2002 Dave Gibb MCPS/PRS

My lady don’t do nothin’ she just sits around all day
Watchin’ country music on TV
And now I feel neglected cause she disnae want to play
Aye, she’ll go down on the bayou but she won’t go down on me

And I would like to meet the numpty who told her she could sing
Now she’s learning country ditties by the score
And I’ll never understand why she sings Don’t Fence Me In
When we’re living on the twenty-seventh floor

I watch the cowboys round our way as they mosey on down the street
With their John Wayne walks they really are a sight
They like to think they’re outlaws in the Wild West frontier
Then again they come from Stonehouse so it could be that they’re right

With his cowboy hat upon his head and his boots upon his feet
And his pair of bullhorns nailed above the door
He would love to buy a pony if he could fit it in the lift
To take it to the twenty-seventh floor

I’m sick of kid-on cowboys and their sentimental songs
About their horses, dogs and wives and weans and beer
They dream of roping doggies and branding all day long
I’d like to see them try to rope and brand the cows you get round here

With his spurs that jingle jangle and a roll up in his face
He nonchalantly leans against the door
He would love to buy a cattle ranch if only he’d the space
In his wee flat on the twenty-seventh floor
