Dear old western skies

I wanna go

Where the longhorn cattle roam

Dear old western skies

There’ll never be

Another place like my old home

It seems that I can hear

The cattle lowin’

Seems that I can see

The purple sage blowin’

I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies

By and by

Under dear old western skies

The cowboy may roam from his homeland

Way out on the great divide

But in his heart he will still be a cowboy

And long for his pony to ride

Instrumental break

It seems that I can hear

The cattle lowin’

Seems that I can see

The purple sage blowin’

I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies

By and by

Under dear old western skies

Odelayeeo ‘delayeeay ‘delayeeo ‘delayeeo ‘delayee
