Let's All Help The Cowboys Sing The Blues
(Jack Clement)

• Songbook Of The American West

Cowboys they are ladies men alright
They love 'em up and talk 'em up all night
But they're lonesome when there's nothin' else to do
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 and beauty and I.Q.
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

CHORUS
Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt and all that bit
Let their heart hangs 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
Tries to make somebody understand
But she's has ears to hear a different tune
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

CHORUS

Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
