Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Cattle Call

The cattle are prowlin?, the coyotes are howlin?

Way out where the dogies bawl

Where spurs are a jinglin?, a cowboy is singin?

This lonesome cattle call

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Woo, hoo, ooo, oop, I, de, de

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Yod, el, od, el, lo, ti, de

He rides in the sun ?til his days work is done

And he rounds up the cattle each fall

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Singin? his cattle call

For hours, he will ride on the range, far and wide

When the night winds blow up a squall

His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather

He sings his cattle call

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Woo, hoo, ooo, oop, I, de, de

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Yod, el, od, el, lo, ti, de

He?s brown as a berry, from ridin? the prairie

And he sings with an ol? western drawl

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Singin? his cattle call

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Woo, hoo, ooo, oop, I, de, de

Woo, hoo, woo, ooo, ti, de

Yod, el, od, el, lo, ti, de
