Текст песни Calvin Russell — Lonesome Cowboy (Muddy Waters’ cover)

Jesse James and Cal' Jane
Billy Kid and all the rest
Supposed to be some bad cats
Out in the west
But when they dug me
And my Lucky Luke ways
They hung up there guns And they jumped into their graves

‘Cause I’m a lonesome cowboy
Say, I’m a lonesome cowboy
When I ride with the sun
The girls who look at my gun
Say: “He’s a lonesome cowboy.”

I shoot faster than my shadow
But I never, never kill
Some say I’m the last true hero
Shootin’ is my skill
I try to hide my solitude
But there’s always some dude
Who stands up and tells them:

“You just don’t realize that he’s a lonesome cowboy.”
And in the morning A lonesome cowboy
Yeah, when I walk in a saloon
The outlaws drinkin’ at noon
Say: “He’s a lonesome cowboy.”

So I jump on my horse
Ride across the far, far west
I rope 65 bad guys
Make sure none of them dies
I put them all under arrest
‘Cause I’m the fastest shooter
Never one dollar reward for me
All over this country
Sherrif say: “Are you Lucky Luke?”
In a very deep voice.

And I say: “Yes, brother sherrif. And that’s your …(?) on the back of my horse.”
‘Cause I’m lonesome cowboy
Yeah, I’m a lonesome cowboy
Yeah, when I leave with the sun
The girls who look at my gun
Say: “He’s a lonesome cowboy.”
