Old Nashville Cowboys
Hank Williams, Jr.
Ton : A
The old NaAshville cowboy was burdenEed with time A
He was bAent by his years and the fF#might with the wAine
With a hAead full of music and an oDld nursery rAhyme
A hAeart full of sadness and dEark sunken nAights
He tAold me they've cheated he tEold me they sAtole
The sAtrength from his youth and the sF#mongs from his sAoul
He sAaid he raised family till hDe got too oAld
And hAe called them miners mother Lord finders
DAigging so deep in sEearch of more gAold
Oh wEhere are the cowboys and the hAome on the range
Does aEnyone know that they've kAilled Jesse James
Now the gDood guys on TV seem bAad ain't it sDtrange D/C# Bm
And the oAld Nashville cowboys missed oEut on the cAhange
The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past
Like whiskey he drank it all went out too fast
He didn't know how to make each swallow last
And a head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
Is anyone listening or is everyone blind
And old Nashville cowboys will sing for a dime
And hAard times are cheap at the eEnd of the lAine
