Which sounds rather silly but ev'ry hillbilly
Dm G C Dm G C
Spends half his life singing that way
[Verse 1]
C Dm
He was just a lavender cowboy
G C
With only three hairs on his chest
Dm
And he rode on a filly called Daffydowndilly
G C
The prettiest horse in the West
[Verse 2]
Dm
Ev'ry morning they went out together
G C
While the others looked on in dismay
Dm
'Cause he'd round up the cattle a-ridin' side-saddle
G C Dm G C
Because he preferred it that way
[Verse 3]
C Dm
He was just a lavender cowboy
G C
Who committed a terrible sin
Dm
He went out on a bender and slugged a bartender
G C
And stole all the strawberry gin
[Verse 1v]
Dm
So the posse was sent out to find him
G C
And bring him back dead or alive
Dm
And they knew as they went they were hot on the scent
G C Dm G C
By the smell of Chanel No.5
[Verse 5]
Dm
And they found him a-lyin' unconcious
G C
With blood running all down his chin
Dm
Till they looked a bit closer and what do you know sir
G C
They found it was strawberry gin
[Verse 6]
Dm
So they shot the lavender cowboy
G C
And said as they laid him to rest
Dm
You'll be happier now boy you can't be a cowboy
G C
With only three hairs on your chest
