Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

Well I'm lonesome but happy
I'm rich but I'm broke
And the good Lord knows the reason
I'm just a cow poke

From Cheyenne to Phoenix
All the ranges I know
I just drift with the wind
No one cares where I go

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

When I ain't got a dime
In these old worn out jeans
I just stop eatin' steak
And I go back to beans

But I'll pick up a ten spot
In Prescott I know
Just from riding the broncs
In the big rodeo
