文本歌词

Cowboy Jack - The Carter Family
He was just a lonely cowboy
With a heart so brave and true
He learned to love a maiden
With eyes of heaven's own blue
They learned to love each other
And named their wedding day
When a quarrel came between them
And Jack he rode away
He joined a band of cowboys
And tried to forget her name
But out on the lonely pa-rairie
She waits for him the same
One night when work was finished
Just at the close of day
Someone said sing a song Jack
We'll drive those cares away
When he reached the pa-rairie
He found a new-made mound
His friends they sadly told him
They laid his loved one down
They said as she was dying
She breathed her sweetheart's name
And asked them with her last breath
To tell him when he came
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack
Your sweetheart waits for you
Out on the lonely pa-rairie
Where the skies are always blue
