Let's All Help the Cowboys (Sing the Blues)

Cowboys, they are ladies men all right

They'll love 'em up and talk 'em up all night

But they're lonely when there's nothing else to do

And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues.

He does a little Shakespeare and he sings

He plays the mandolin and other things

He looks for love beauty and IQ

And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues.

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit

Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit

So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse

Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues.

Cowboys they don't ever understand

This thing between a woman and a man

Until they find the one they always lose

That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues.

A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand

And tries to make somebody understand

But she has ears to hear a different tune

And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues.

Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit

Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit

So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse

Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues.

Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues...
