Meanest Cowboy Alive (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4201) I got a pony in the old corral Lots of hay to feed him on I've got a pretty little cowgirl To care for him when I'm gone Goin' on the big roundup Springtime roundup's here again Gonna fill up my coffee cup Sugar's from sweet Calamity Jane Yonder comes Calamity Jane Kissed by the sun so brown Her face is drivin' me insane Golden hair just hangin' down The mornin' sun's still risin' And I don't see no sign of rain Sweet Calamity Jane I'm prizin' Prettiest cowgirl of the plains Ring that dinner bell, Calamity Make them biscuits nice 'n brown Then pack my bed roll for me I'm Springtime roundup bound Now how do I know she loves me Well, I can see it in her eyes And Calamity Jane has told me I'm the meanest cowboy alive Harbor Of Her Heart (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4202) Hank Snow sang a song of Bluebird Island His ship sailed across love's boundless sea Silver sails took him away from the highlands On a lonely voyage to set his sad heart free There Hank was, out across the waves When a bluebird came flying by one day A bluebird came flying from across the sea With a message that said, come follow me Hank Snow sailed his ship to the sea of love That little bluebird surely did do its part On Moonlight Bay he anchored in the shelter of The harbor of her heart Winds of trade blew Hank to Bluebird Island There they dried each other's lonely tears away Hank Snow found a treasure on Bluebird Island It's a pleasure to say it's in our hearts to stay Hank Snow's Bluebird Island Was in the harbor of her heart Snowy Wind (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4203) In a teepee a new life would begin A fair Indian maiden of the plains The Chieftan named her Snowy Wind Such beauty's never been seen again As pretty as the heavens up above As fair as the stars in their spin Born in the cold depths of December The Indians named her Snowy Wind A white trapper came one morning For two moons the white man stayed Soon he was a guest at the teepee Of the shy and pretty Indian maid Snowy Wind, the breezes whispered Snowy Wind, the breezes sighed When the trapper rode one evening Snowy Wind was riding by his side Under the moon at night she lay sleeping Heavenly stars were shining all so bright The trapper away from her was creeping Then he rode away into the lonely night Snowy Wind, the breezes whispered Snowy Wind, the breezes sighed For out on the cold and lonely prarie Snowy Wind with heart broken died Snowy Wind with heart broken died Letter From Mexicali Rose (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4204) South of the border I rode one fine day Where the breeze through a Mexican valley blows I fell in love and gave my heart away To a lovely senorita known as the Mexicali Rose Her love was sincere for I could see it in her eyes There where the Perdenales flows And the warmth of the desert air couldn't compare With the arms of my Mexicali Rose I grew envious when a stranger waved goodbye And I accused her wrongly I suppose She begged me to stay, don't go away, she cried But I rode away from my Mexicali Rose I was foolish then, I know, to treat her that way And I wondered if she'd ever understand Months turned into years, and I counted every day Like counting her tears by the Rio Grande I wrote my Mexicali Rose, said I'm coming home That I was sorry where my trail had led Her mother wrote back, said that she died alone With a letter from Mexicali Rose in red You left me alone because of one you didn't know Although you knew I loved only you Here's a flower from the valley, from Mexicali Rose Just to remind you I died for you true My Heart Isn't Broke Anymore (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4205) My heart isn't broke anymore No matter how much you tried You set me adrift from the shore But I've sailed back with the tide My heart was lost out at sea When rains started to pour But I'm still living, you see My heart isn't broke anymore I used to think I might die Dark clouds covered the blue Then I found out, life could go on without Your love that never was true I'm in a safe harbor now My ship is safely in shore And I've forgotten your vow My heart isn't broke anymore I used to think I might die Dark clouds covered the blue Then I found out, life could go on without Your love that never was true I'm in a safe harbor now My ship is safely in shore And I've forgotten your vow My heart isn't broke anymore Broken Promise (Larry W. Jones 12/01/2006) (song#4206) Tonight my weary heart is sad and blue You don't how it feels when things aren't right I know that you've found someone new You broke your promise and my dream that night The rain that's falling makes me feel so older As out my window pane I peer into the night But the only thing I know that seemed colder Was a broken promise and my dream that night Your love turned cold, you took my heart from me I wonder if you ever really cared Now another shares your heart and holds the key Another heart that's not prepared The rain that's falling makes me feel so older As out my window pane I peer into the night But the only thing I know that seemed colder Was a broken promise and my dream that night On that mournful morning when you left me I couldn't smile though the sun was bright You can't see the damage you've done to me It's hidden deep within my broken heart tonight The rain that's falling makes me feel so older As out my window pane I peer into the night But the only thing I know that seemed colder Was a broken promise and my dream that night Phantom Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 12/02/2006) (song#4207) Oh, the bald eagle sees where the prarie dog flees And the red hawk joins the kill But where will be anyone to see The last cowboy to ride the hill We see the chains that brings the pains To the horses plowing the prarie under And in vain we strain to see again Cowboys riding on hooves of thunder A curtain is drawn on a time that's gone Only the phantom cowboy's riding past No longer is heard the trail boss' word On the cattle trails across praries vast Yard by yard the land's been scarred Until the old west beauty is no more And those who thrived on the cattle drives Have closed the corral for evermore So, this is the song of times forgone Only the phantom cowboy's riding by No more the brawn of shoulders strong At the branding under the Texas sky So, this is the tale of those that hail The mystery of the last cattle drive Through rain, snow and dusty trails Where only the phantom cowboy rides Starbeam Of Love (Larry W. Jones 12/02/2006) (song#4208) I go in search of one whom I dreamed of Someone who said that she would share her love I go in search of every single star For you're my dream, starbeam of love you are There was a time when I was doing fine Then came the time when that love went away Now I find no one that I call mine Though I've searched for love until this day I will find you, oh, so very soon And you will be soft as the harvest moon I will find you, oh, where 'ere you are For you're my dream, starbeam of love you are There was a time when I was doing fine Then came the time when that love went away Now I find no one that I call mine Though I've searched for love until this day I go in search of one whom I dreamed of Someone who said that she would share her love I go in search of every single star For you're my dream, starbeam of love you are I will find you, oh, so very soon And you will be soft as the harvest moon I will find you, oh, where 'ere you are For you're my dream, starbeam of love you are Bonnie Sue Sunny You (Larry W.

Jones 12/09/2006) (song#4214) Outside of Denver grew a grove of Aspens on the hill Where I rode with my darlin' long ago The stars that were shining are up there shining still As when we rode among those Aspens on the hill We sang old cowboy love songs And watched the birds fly to their nests And we knew our love was more that just a thrill The love that we had darlin', surely was the best When we rode among those Aspens on the hill When my end of days comes darlin' And it's time for me to die Please don't forget me, that I cry If you visit me in sadness, think of the love we knew And let your teardrops fall on leaves of Aspens where I lie My love for you is endless though I may see you no more Aspen leaves are falling, I can feel the chill Kiss me goodbye darlin', just as you did before When we rode among those Aspens on the hill My Yellow Rose Of Texas (Larry W. Jones 12/09/2006) (song#4215) My yellow rose of Texas rose up and rode away She didn't say where she was goin', where I cannot tell I've got these lonesome Texas blues down to my boots Enough to make a cowboy saddle up and hit the trail Lone star beer and whiskey on the rocks I want to hear Faded Love on the old juke box Lone star beer and whiskey on the rocks Is the only cheer I get since she's been gone Count out all my quarters, nickles and dimes Let me hear that Faded Love one more time Bob Wills knew what he was doin', fiddlin' around Just like I'm doin' every night til closing time Lone star beer and whiskey on the rocks I want to hear Faded Love on the old juke box Count out all my quarters, nickles and dimes Let me hear that Faded Love one more time Bob Wills knew what he was doin', fiddlin' around Just like I'm doin' every night til closing time Living Golden Dream (Larry W. Jones 12/09/2006) (song#4216) Once we were together Under a golden moon and silver stars The silence of the night Whispered soft and low it seemed That our love would last with no bars It was like all was right Loving in our living golden dream But in our living golden dream There came one day a veil of tears How I remember well the scene Now whispered through the years How our dying golden dream Turned to rust and disappeared Tonight finds me alone Under a golden moon and silver stars The silence of the night Whispers soft and low it seems That our love once had no bars It was like all was right Loving in our living golden dream But I can't continue to hold on To a dream that's not reality Your sweet love has gone Along with love's imortality But I can't forget, can't forget Our once living golden dream A Rose Every Day (Larry W. Jones 12/09/2006) (song#4217) I remember the first time I met them I was just a country lad of eight or nine I remember he said she was a gem And he said he'd love her for all of time I remember seeing both of them riding The trail on their ponies just for the thrill The love they had was never hiding When they rode to the top of the hill And he would sing for all to hear I'll give you a rose every day, dear I'll give you a rose every day My love won't fail, we'll ride every trail As long as roses bloom in May I remember seeing them in the evening Always together as long years went by The love they had made everyone glad Especially me, since just a small fry I remember seeing the love in their eyes Sometimes they'd invite me to ride along We'd ride the trails under bluest skies He'd bring his guitar and sing this song I'll give you a rose every day, dear I'll give you a rose every day My love won't fail, we'll ride every trail As long as roses bloom in May He still rides the trail in the evening But he's not the same man anymore And I think he must still be believing He's riding trails with her as before She's gone but his love still shows Up the trail he still makes his way To the pretty place that she chose Up on the hilltop he kneels to pray And brings to her a rose every day I'll give you a rose every day, dear I'll give you a rose every day My love won't fail, we'll ride every trail As long as roses bloom in May I'll give you a rose every day Cowboy Blues (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2006) (song#4218) Who's gonna fix my saddle horn Who's gonna buy my longhorn herd To put the food on the table For my little cowboys when they're born And the hay for the barn And the boards for the stable All those things a cowboy can use I work the ranch, I brand the cows If I'm gonna make it, sometimes I wonder how But cowboy life is the only life I know Some cowpokes call it Cowboy Blues I see all the seasons when they call Sometimes I want to trade these boots for shoes But I'll deal with it, big or small Sometimes I ride out on the trail Cause I can relate to a coyote's wail Sometimes I wish that trail would take me far away Far away from these Cowboy Blues The old corral fence is broke It's near to falling down I don my Sunday best and ride into town At the bank I'm looking for a loan They send me looking for the trail back home Might as well have known that they'd refuse But as I arrive at the old homestead I smell my supper and hot cornbread And I see someone with caring eyes of blue She's always there and waits for me Ready to love away these Cowboy Blues Sweet Darlin' Cherie (Larry W. Jones 12/12/2006) (song#4219) I'm just a young cowboy I live out on the prarie My pony and my longhorns are my only joy My days are spent in the saddle My nights are slept in the open This life is one that only time can destroy I watch the moon on the rise I sit by my campfire Thinking of home and a lady of cheer When I close my eyes The night will inspire A song that is sung softly and clear Goodnight to all who might well agree Rock-a-bye to my sweet darlin' Cherie Gold and blue are the colors I choose Gold is her hair and her eyes are blue Tonight in my dreams I know where I'll be Back in the arms of my sweet darlin' Cherie Autumn is the time when the cold winds will blow Before December the prarie will be covered in snow Mountains will be dreamlike on acount of the frost Gotta get these longhorns moving no matter the cost There's a song that sailors sing when they're out at sea There's a song that cowboys sing before going to sleep It's a song about home and a love that they've known I watch the moon on the rise I sit by my campfire Thinking of home and a lady of cheer When I close my eyes The night will inspire A song that is sung softly and clear Goodnight to all who might well agree Rock-a-bye to my sweet darlin' Cherie Gold and blue are the colors I choose Gold is her hair and her eyes are blue Tonight in my dreams I know where I'll be Back in the arms of my sweet darlin' Cherie Guitar Memory (Larry W. Jones 12/12/2006) (song#4220) Sneaking down the back street by the bayou Listen for the beat of country and blues Mama said it was the wrong side of town It was where the songs were gettin' down In memory I go back every time I can Listen to my friend, an old black man He had an old guitar he used to play on For hours I used to just stay on and learn Where his fingers went, what his music meant He said that one day he'd be passing down That guitar to someone who'd make it burn And now I've got my old black friend's guitar With all the scratches from back street bars I try to play it like he did, from the heart Sometimes I feel like I'm a part of history It's got an old black man's guitar memory I remember the night when he passed it down He said take it boy cause I won't be around I try to picture his fingers on the strings Old black singers knew how to make it ring Now I play it like an old back street song And let an old black man's memory lead me on And now I've got my old black friend's guitar With all the scratches from back street bars I try to play it like he did, from the heart Sometimes I feel like I'm a part of history It's got an old black man's guitar memory Listen to my old black friend's guitar memory Seasons Of My Heart (Larry W. Jones 12/13/2006) (song#4221) Once I was young and thought I was cool A song of love I learned to write Played my guitar as they taught in school Thought I sang every line just right I thought I knew everything about love After all it was all about you and me I sang it slow just to let you know That I would love you for eternity But the years have erased I love you From the seasons of my heart And it's too late, the time too great For another love song to start I wasn't cool, just young and dumb I can see back at the start Time has erased I love you from The seasons of my heart I was true and always around But time itself led you astray Tears I've shed without a sound Have long washed the song away I'm through with tears and the years Won't let me write that song again I'll just dream about the theme Of a love song that might have been But the years have erased I love you From the seasons of my heart And it's too late, the time too great For another love song to start I wasn't cool, just young and dumb I can see back at the start Time has erased I love you from The seasons of my heart Cowboy Gear And A Longhorn Steer (Larry W. Jones 12/14/2006) (song#4222) Cowboy gear and a longhorn steer Are the things that I love so Drivin' the herd on the trail, I hear The music of the world I know Cowboy gear is leather and iron It's Saddle and spurs out ridin' the range It would appear the west was won With cowboy gear that never will change Cowboy gear and a longhorn steer Movin' out early on a frosty morn Someday this life will disappear Along with the real cowboy's yarn But as long as it's here, I'll hold it dear And ride every trail I can find Cowboy gear and a longhorn steer Both are good friends of mine Cowboy gear and a longhorn steer Someday this life will disappear But as long as it's here, I'll hold it dear And ride every trail I can find Cowboy gear and a longhorn steer Both are good friends of mine Midnight On The Trail Of The Blues (Larry W. Jones 12/14/2006) (song#4223) Drivin' cattle over the trail, listen to coyotes wail Sometimes at night they don't want to move But at least when it's night, nobody sees me cry When it's midnight on the trail of the blues Midnight can be lonely in a cowboy's world And I'm the loneliest cowboy you ever knew These old blues started the day she departed And it's midnight on the trail of the blues I hear an old hoot owl hooting overhead Won't let me sleep in my lonely bedroll And if I can't sleep, I can't dream of you This trail of blues sure is takin' it's toll But at least when it's night, nobody sees me cry When it's midnight on the trail of the blues Midnight can be lonely in a cowboy's world And I'm the loneliest cowboy you ever knew These old blues started the day she departed And it's midnight on the trail of the blues Old Cattle Trails Back Home (Larry W.
