Ride Cowboy Ride Lyrics - Little Cowpoke - Nickel Creek

Up in the morning at the break of day 

You'll hear a big bearded cowboy at the chuck wagon say 

"Gather 'round boys, the coffee's hot on the fire 

There's a full day of branding, we're heating the iron 

I want to smell that scorched hair and burning hide 

The horses have grain boys, they're ready to ride 

Roll up your bed rolls and jump in your boots 

Daylight is a-wastin', boys, it's out of the shoots" 

Come on and ride, cowboy, ride 

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight 

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind 

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind 

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride 

It's a beautiful morning and you've had a good rest 

You ropers get ready to be at your best 

Saddle them ponies and tighten the cinch (Yahoo!) 

Pull on your gloves and take your hat off the fence 

We'll take the cattle to market, and after they're sold 

You can all let your hair down, get lazy or bold 

Riding to town to find a lady or two 

She'll take you by the arms and shake the dust off your boots 

Come on and ride, cowboy, ride 

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight 

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind 

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind 

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride 

Come on and ride, cowboy, ride 

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight 

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind 

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind 

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride
