1 * 57 *
Too old to wrangle or ride on the swing
* * 1 *
You beat the tri-angle and you curse every-thing
* * 4 * (*)
If dirt was a kingdom, then you'd be the king____
CHORUS:
1 57 1 4 (*)
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail____
1 * 57 *
Our old woman's lonesome to-night____
1 57 1 4 (*)
Your French Harp blows like a lone bawling calf____
1 6m 2m 57
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
* * 4 1
Get in there and blow out the light____
1 * 57 *
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments too
* * 1 *
You can do any-thing that a doctor can do
* * 4 * (*)
Ex-cept find a cure for your own goddamn stew____
1 * 57 *
The cook-fire's gone out and the coffee's all gone
* * 1 *
The boys are all up and we're raising the dawn
* * 4 * (*)
You're still sitting there all lost in a song____
1 * 57 *
I know that some-day that I'll be just the same
* * 1 *
Wearing an apron in-stead of a name
* * 4 * (*)
But no one can change it and no one's to blame____
'Cause the desert's a book writ in lizards and sage
It's easy to look like an old torn-out page
All faded and cracked with the colors of age
