Lavendar Cowboy - Burl Ives

He was only a lavender cowboy

The hairs on his chest they were two

He wanted to follow the heroes

And do as the he men do

Red, green, and many colored hair tonics

He rubbed on his chest day and night

When he looked in the mirror next morning

No new hairs grew in sight

He battled for Red Nellie’s honor

He cleaned out a hold-up's nest

He died with two six-guns a-smokin'

But only two hairs on his chest
