[00:00.00]Cowpuncher's Cantata - Max Bygraves
[00:02.46]I travelled across to America
[00:06.83]And when I arrived in America
[00:12.33]They said some you know you can't go wrong
[00:15.71]If you finish your show with a cowboy song
[00:21.93]So I practiced all day to get the song right
[00:27.50]And I dreamed of those songs
[00:32.14]All through the night
[00:41.94]That night I heard the wild goose cry
[00:45.80]He has got mixed up with the riders in the sky
[00:49.52]Tried to sleep but it was in vain
[00:52.59]Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train
[01:08.98]My heart goes where the mule train goes
[01:12.39]And I must go where the mule train goes
[01:16.23]Brother goose mother goose don't you fear
[01:19.64]'Cause I've been arrived and to prove it I'm here
[01:35.32]Aha yma sumac
[01:40.71]The riders loped on by him
[01:42.40]He heard one call his name
[01:44.21]If you're looking for the wild goose
[01:46.03]He's on the mule train
[01:47.74]So cowboy mend your ways today
[01:49.61]Forget your life of sin
[01:51.38]And you will be in time to meet
[01:55.01]The shrimp boats coming in
[02:08.62]My heart goes where the shrimp boats go
[02:12.12]And I must go where the shrimp boats go
[02:16.11]I'm gonna ride that dusty trail
[02:19.26]'Cause they're locked up my lover
[02:21.01]In Allentown jail
[02:26.51]You know this kinda reminds me
[02:28.09]Of the first time I blew into tombstone city
[02:30.96]Yes sir that night I slept on the prairie
[02:33.21]And all night long those prairie dogs kept howling
[02:37.65]I couldn't understand why they kept howling
[02:40.11]Then I found out
[02:42.67]Ain't no trees on the prairie
[02:46.85]Jest cactus
[02:49.83]If ever the devil was born
[02:53.45]Without a pair of horns
[02:56.31]It was you
[03:00.80]Sonny boy
