I'll Be A Cowboy All My Life Lyrics - Marty Robbins

I'm kin to the rovin' wind 

That brings the Northern in 

Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand 

The steers are big and bold 

And the nights are often cold 

But I'll get by as long as I can 

Throw that rope and brand that calf 

Dream of a girl in a photograph 

I got no home, I got no wife 

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life 

I'm up at the crack of dawn 

And I throw the bacon on 

Seems somehow my work is never through 

When I get done at night 

All the stars are big and bright 

But then that's all o-what you're used to 

When ya throw that rope and brand that calf 

Dream of a girl in a photograph 

I got no home, I got no wife 

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life 

The hot, dry wind may blow 

And you'll see me in the rain and snow 

With just an old camp fire to keep me warm 

I'll move the herd along 

And I'll greet them with a song 

So I guess that I was born 

To throw that rope and brand that calf 

Dream of a girl in a photograph 

I got no home, I got no wife 

But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
