by Arlo Guthrie



This morning I woke up alone

I spent the day time on my own

Lots of people have come and gone

To hear a cowboy sing an old time song



CHORUS:

Oh babe, I love you so

This here is the only thing I know

It ain't right and it ain't wrong

To hear a cowboy sing an old time song



Last night I sat 'till closing time

Thinking of the things that crossed my mind

You were the one I was thinking of

I guess it must be that I'm just in love



CHORUS



I hope they play this song of mine

On the jukebox for a dime

Then if you leave 'cause something's wrong

You'll hear your cowboy sing an old time song



CHORUS
