Songs Of The Kingwood Kowboy

My Sweet Boulder County Rose (Larry W Jones 11/10/2020) (song #7734)

Tonight I’m longing for Boulder County

Where Rocky Mountain breezes blow

O’er the flowers with petals so downy

And my sweet Boulder County rose

I can still hear the mountain folks singing

While guitars and mandolins play

And through Boulder Canyon banjos ringing

I hear their echoes as if to say

Tonight I’m longing for Boulder County

Where Rocky Mountain breezes blow

O’er flowers with petals so downy

And my sweet Boulder County rose

(Instrumental)

I recall when she walked close beside me

In night air that smelled like perfume

And she promised that she would my bride be

I’ll be in Boulder County soon

Tonight I’m longing for Boulder County

Where Rocky Mountain breezes blow

O’er flowers with petals so downy

And my sweet Boulder County rose

(Instrumental)

Tonight I’m longing for Boulder County

And my sweet Boulder County rose

The Old Aeromotor Windmill (Larry W Jones 11/10/2020) (song #7733)

I replaced the brake on the old Aeromotor windmill

And as I did I felt kinda proud

The same old mill grandpa set is pumping cool water still

To fill stock tanks when there are no clouds

While on the small windmill platform I looked over the acres

My grandpa and Ma’s home on the range

He lived to see change by big money policy makers

Not much to brag about from the change

(Instrumental)

But my grandpa was a cowboy from his hat to his boots

And my own Dad was cut from the same

Now I’m the third generation who’s come out of that chute

Living the cowboy code is my aim

Sometimes I wonder if the old Aeromotor windmill

Will see my kids and theirs take their stand

To live by the same code and hold out their brand of goodwill

While they show they are proud of this brand

(Instrumental)

I replaced the brake on the old Aeromotor windmill

And as I did I felt kinda proud

For I have a feeling that my kids and theirs in turn will

Say the same kinda thing right out loud

The old Aeromotor windmill will be proud

Number Ninety Nine On The Top Forty Chart (Larry W Jones 11/09/2020) (song #7732)

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

Your new number one didn’t give our love a start

I belong at the bottom on a three chord song

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

There’s no reward at the bottom of country lists

I went for the top but I guess this time I missed

It won’t be long before the big ‘ol teardrops start

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

(Instrumental)

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

You’re number one in the song of a broken heart

And this time I’m way too far down the line to climb

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

I could say congrats but I’m not at bat with you

You went and made me blue and my heart’s torn apart

I didn’t make the grade on the big hit parade

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

I’m number ninety nine on the top forty chart

(spoken) At least it’s not a hundred

Under The Aspen Snowmass Moon (Larry W Jones 11/04/2020) (song #7726)

A snowy night

With slopes of white

The time was right and soon

We fell in love under the Aspen Snowmass moon

The moon was low

Fire was aglow

Such a delight to swoon

Under the Aspen Snowmass moon

(Instrumental)

Each flick’rin flame

Had but one aim

To make your heart and mine the same

Under the Aspen Snowmass moon

(Instrumental)

Here in my ear

I’ll never hear

Such a lovely love tune

Such a delight to swoon

Under the Aspen Snowmass moon

Under the Aspen Snowmass moon

Out Yonder In West Texas (Larry W Jones 11/09/2020) (song #7731)

Out yonder in west Texas, there’s a place I’m free

Ridin’ cattle trails with a saddle under me

Here in the east it’s busy, busy as can be

My heart is blue and my time in the east is through

Out yonder in west Texas, friends are always true

Out yonder in west Texas, no bright city lights

I’ll roll out my old bedroll on a starry night

Shoot the rattlesnakes and pet the ugly horned toads

And dream of some sweet cowgirl who will be my bride

Out yonder in west Texas is where I’ll soon ride

(Instrumental)

Out yonder in west Texas, there’s a place I’m free

Ridin’ cattle trails with a saddle under me

Here in the east it’s busy, busy as can be

My heart is blue and my time in the east is through

Out yonder in west Texas, friends are always true

Out yonder in west Texas, roundups in the Spring

Songs of little dogies I’ll hear the cowboys sing

Soon as I can change, I’ll ride out across the range

The moon will glow at night, by day the sun will shine

Out yonder in west Texas, I’ll leave blues behind

Across The Western Prairie (Larry W Jones 11/08/2020) (song #7730)

Ridin’, ridin’, ridin’, across the western prairie

While stars are bright at night across the western prairie

It don’t matter how far, ‘long as your hoss can carry

You and your own darlin’, across the western prairie

Across the western prairie with a yippie-i-yay

Now that’s one fine way for romancin’ and makin’ hay

And you’ll see some vistas, not of the ordinary

Ridin’, ridin’, ridin’, across the western prairie

(Instrumental)

Now, I like my darlin’ fair and she don’t upset me

She took one look at me and said she can’t forget me

She had another love but someone shot ‘ol Harry

That’s why I’ve got her now, ridin’ across the prairie

Across the western prairie with a yippie-i-yay

Now that’s one fine way for romancin’ and makin’ hay

And you’ll see some vistas, not of the ordinary

Ridin’, ridin’, ridin’, across the western prairie

Me and Mary, ridin’ across the western prairie

If You’re A Texan (Larry W Jones 11/07/2020) (song #7729)

If you’re a Texan walk right in the door

If your name is Bill, Cody, Colt or Pat

As long as you’re from Texas here’s the floor

Cause there’s a big ‘ol Howdy on the mat

If you come from Houston or Waco too

And you have a drawl on things to discuss

Then you must be a Texan through and through

When you speak you sound just like one of us

(Instrumental)

In big New York City town I heard say

There lived a fella known as one tough guy

He came to Texas on one sunny day

And thought he’d give the cowboy life a try

Now, he was wealthy but his name was Sue

The ranch foreman is laughing to this day

He said now sonny here’s a note for you

The big tough guy read what it had to say

If you’re a Texan walk right in the door

If your name is Bill, Cody, Colt or Pat

As long as you’re from Texas here’s the floor

Cause there’s a big ‘ol Howdy on the mat

If you come from Houston or Waco too

And you have a drawl on things to discuss

Then you must be a Texan through and through

When you speak you sound just like one of us

(Instrumental)

If you’re a Texan walk right in the door

If your name is Bill, Cody, Colt or Pat

But if you’re from New York City fella

We don’t need no Sue who’s Cinderella

If you’re a Texan walk right in the door

It’s An Old Cowboy’s Dream (Larry W Jones 11/06/2020) (song #7728)

Well, if I had the wings of an eagle

I’d fly to a place way out in the west

Where the sun goes down with rays quite regal

There’s a small ranch by a stream I love best

It’s an old cowboy’s dream, by an old mountain stream

That will remain deep down in my heart

Where big cattle were bred, on that small distant spread

There is no chain to keep dreams apart

(Instrumental)

On that small spread of dreams, for to me it still seems

That mem’ries each day unfold at dawn

And like to a lost stray, all those dreams seem to say

Cowboy, you’re sure a long way from home

It’s an old cowboy’s dream, by an old mountain stream

That will remain deep down in my heart

Where big cattle were bred, on that small distant spread

There is no chain to keep dreams apart

And like to a lost stray, all those dreams seem to say

Cowboy, you’re sure a long way from home

A Trail Is Gonna Lead A Cowboy (Larry W Jones 11/05/2020) (song #7727)

Oh, a trail is gonna lead ‘cross the land

Across the land

Oh, a trail is gonna lead with a voice

A kid’s gonna need to be a cowboy

Be a cowboy

But only now when he’s young can he dream

Yes, he can dream

It’s only now when he’s young can he dream

Riding cattle trails in Summer is warm

Riding cattle trails in Winter means storms

A kid is only a dreamer

By the old cattle trail

Cause the old trail is too long

And a kid is too frail

(Instrumental)

But then the whole wide world begins to change

The kid grows tall

And the voice he then hears is from the range

The trail has called

The trail has called and the song that is heard

Is like a drawl

A cattle call

Oh, a trail is gonna lead ‘cross the land

Across the land

Oh, a trail is gonna lead with a voice

A kid’s gonna need to be a cowboy

Be a cowboy

But only now when he’s young can he dream

Yes, he can dream

It’s only now when he’s young can he dream

Oh, a trail is gonna lead a cowboy
