  1794>I'm kin to the rovin' wind that brings the norther in
  Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
  The steers are big and bold and the nights are often cold
  But I'll get by so long as I can
 
 
  Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
  I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
 
 
  I'm up at the crack of dawn and I throw the bacon on
  Seems somehow my work is never through
  When I get done at night all the stars are big and bright
  But then that's sorta what you're used to when you
 
 
  Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
  I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
 
 
  The hot dry wind may blow and you'll see me in the rain and snow
  With just an old campfire to keep me warm
  I'll move the herd along and I'll greet them with a song
  So I guess that I was born
 
 
  Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
  I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
