I'm just a poor cowboy singin' his song

No money to jingle as I ride along

I'm rejected by men but accepted above

I belong in this valley on this peaceful sod



Let me ride from the mountains to the dark rolling sea

I'm broke but I'm wealthy because I am free

Let me walk in this valley where my fathers had trod

Let me live forever on this peaceful sod



Let me live on this land till I'm withered and old

Till I'm meek and I'm humble and the Lord wants my soul

Let me live in this valley where my fathers had trod

Let me live forever on this peaceful sod
