WRITTEN BY COWBOY JACK CLEMENT song rec. on the KORG D8 raw version lyrics(Jack Clement) Cowboys, they are ladies men all right They’ll love 'em up and talk 'em up all night But they're lonely when there's nothing else to do And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues.  He does a little Shakespeare and he sings He plays the mandolin and other things He looks for love beauty and IQ And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues. Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues. Cowboys they don't ever understand This thing between a woman and a man Until they find the one they always lose That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues. A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand And tries to make somebody understand But she has ears to hear a different tune And that's what makes the cowboy sing the blues. Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit So ladies if they ask, you don't refuse Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues. Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues...
