A Cowboy's Good Bye

The time has come for me to say,
Good-bye to cowboy friends.
Through our trails may be miles apart.
May our friendship never ends.

This gather’s going to be my last,
For soon I'm headed South.
When spring brandin’ smoke is in the air
I'll shed a tear no doubt.

You all have meant so much to me,
Of my life you're now apart.
Each one of you has got a bunkhouse space
That’s deep here in my heart.

Good-bye to you and Oregon
For you see I'm Prineville bound.
No more my pony’s feet on rocks
They'll tread a softer ground
And though I'll never ride again.
Up here where the eagles scream
I'll ride forever with each one of you
Through these mountains in my dreams!
