Cowboy Lyrics

Moonlighting: Live At The Ash Grove
 
Paniolo cowboy in a field of sugar cane
Once there was a forest where they hid there in the rain
Cowboy bowboy cowboy
Wanderin' Wahini under locks of raven hair
Beads of inspiration Hopin' he would not forget just where
Heyup cowboy!
 
Up above the canopy in the highest branches of a tree
He would take her longingly and say "One day you'll belong
to me"
 
I forgot to mention it was nineteen forty-one
Zeros kept a-comin' like to blanket out the sun
Cowboy cowboy
 
So they lay suspended dreaming of some kind of god
With their limbs akimbo and extended to the mind of God
Cowboy
 
And the night without regret says it's time to let your hair
down low
There they lay in silhouette he would say I'd stay yet have to
go
 
King Kamehameha met with Captain Cook uopn the shore
Lookin' at all the cattle asked him "What the hell are these
for?"
Cowboy cowboy cowboy
Gone now is the forest and the lovers of the trees
Now there is a chorus playing golf who say in Japanese
Kau-boi
