[Verse 1]
D G D I am a Texas cowboy, from Texas now I hail Bm D Give me a rope and pony, I'm ready for the trail Bm D I love the rolling prairies, they're free from care and strife D G D Behind a herd of longhorns, I'll journey all my life
[Verse 2]
D G D When prairie dawn is breakin', and we are far away Bm D We fall into our saddles, we round-up all the day Bm D We rope, we brand, we earmark, I'll tell you we are smart D G D And when the herd is ready for Kansas, then we start

[Verse 3]
D G D I am a Texas cowboy, as brave as I can be Bm D On a little Spanish pony, I roam the wide prairie Bm D My trusty little pony is my companion true D G D Through creeks and hills and rivers, he's sure to pull me through
[Verse 4]
D G D When threatening clouds all gather, and the herd in the lightning flash Bm D Heavy raindrops splatter, and rolling thunders crash Bm D What keeps the herd from running, stampeding far and wide? D G D It's the cowboy's long, low whistle and singing by their side.

[Verse 5]
D G D When we reach Kansas City, our boss he pays us up, Bm D We loaf around the city, we take a parting cup; Bm D We bid farewell to city life, from noisy crowds we come, D G D And back to dear old Texas, the cowboy's native home.
[Verse 6]
D G D Hey, I'm a Texas cowboy, from Texas now I hail Bm D Give me a rope and pony, I'm ready for the trail Bm D I love the rolling prairies, so free from care and strife D G D Behind a herd of longhorns, I'll journey all my life
