DONEY GAL



A cowboy's life is a weary thing

Rope and brand and ride and sing

Yes, day or night in the sleet and hail

He'll stay with the dogies out on the trail.



cho: Rain or shine, sleet or snow, Me and my Doney Gal are bound to go

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, Me and my Doney Gal are bound to go



We're up and gone at the break of day

Driving them dogies on their lonesome way

The cowboy's work is never done

We're up and gone from sun to sun



We yell at the rain, laugh at the hail

Driving them dogies down the lonesome trail

We'll yell at the rain, sleet and snow

When we reach the little town of San Antonio

Rain or shine, sleet or snow,

Me and my Doney Gal are on the go.

We travel down that lonesome trail

Where a man and his horse seldom ever fail.



cho:



We'll ride the range from sun to sun,

For a cowboy's work is never done.

He's up and gone at the break of day

Drivin' the dogies on their weary way.



cho:



Travelin' up the lonesome trail

Where a man and his horse seldom ever fail,

Joggin' along through fog and dew,

Wishin' for sunny days, and you.



cho:

Over the prairies lean and brown,

On through the wastes where there ain't no town.

Swimmin' the rivers across our way,

We fight on forward day-end on day.



cho:



Trailin' the herd through mountains green,

We pen the cattle in Abilene.

Round the campfire's flickerin' glow

We sing the songs of long ago.



cho:



from the singing of Joe Hickerson
