The Cowhand's Last Ride [German translation]
The Cowhand's Last Ride [German translation]
He was just a Texas cowhand
One that knew his stuff
His eyes was black, his face was tan
His hands were broad and rough
Tough as an old buzz saw
All of the boys stayed shy
For they all knew his aim was true
He'd shoot at the wink of an eye
One night in last spring's roundup
Met with a rustlers band
The flames leaped higher from his old camp fire
Died with a gun in his hand
We rolled out of bed the next morning
We dug a grave in the sand
When we found stretched out on the ground
This brave and lonely cowhand
We buried him on the prairie
Wrapped in an old cowhide
By the light of the moon we wrote on his tomb
"Another cowhand's last ride"
- Artist:Jimmie Rodgers (1897-1933)
