John Ed Sang Cowpoke - Chris Ledoux

When the rodeo was over, we’re all go to the room

We’re drink some beer relax awhile and sing some cowboy tunes

That old guitar we passed around, it was battered, scratched, and

Broke

But Lord it sounded mighty fine, when John Ed sang «Cowpoke»

Ben he’s think of some old tune, and he’s really wail away

Dunder’s play the spoons and sing until the break of day

Clyde he’s tell a poem or two and old Rich he’s crack a joke

But damn it nearly make you cry when John Ed sang «Cowpoke»

Someday this road I travel, Lord I will leave behind

But memories of the things I’ve seen will never leave my mind

On a quiet summer’s evening when the sun is sinking low

I’ll think again of days gone by when John Ed sang «Cowpoke»
