[00:07.02] Where do cowboys go when they die?
[00:13.57] Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye?
[00:19.81] Where the water is clean and the grass grows free
[00:26.56] And there ain't a cloud in the sky
[00:34.30] "What is reincarnation?" A cowboy asked his friend
[00:40.55] His friend replied "Well Son It happens when your life has reached its end
[00:47.57] You see, they comb your hair and they wash your neck and they clean your fingernails
[00:53.82] And they you down in a batted box far away from life's prevails
[01:00.93] Now the box and you goes in a hole that's been dug into the ground
[01:07.01] And reincarnation starts when you're planted beneath the mound
[01:13.65] You see the box melts down just like the clods(?) with you who is inside
[01:20.50] And then, you're just beginning your transformation ride"
[01:28.24] Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye
[01:34.19] Where do cowboys go when they die?
[01:42.45] "Well, in a while some rain's gonna come and fall upon the ground
[01:48.62] 'Til one day on your lonely little grave a little flower will be found
[01:55.60] And say a hoss should wander by and graze upon the flower
[02:01.52] That once was you but now becomes a vegetative bower
[02:09.13] That little flower that the hoss done ate up with all his other feed
[02:14.34] Becomes bone and fat and muscle essentials for the steed
[02:21.01] But some he's consumed, he can't use so it passes through
[02:28.09] Finally it lays there on the ground this thing that once was you
[02:36.92] And then say that I should wander by and gaze upon the ground
[02:43.18] And wonder and ponder on this object that I've found
[02:49.77] Well it sure makes me think of reincarnation of life and death and such
[02:56.76] And I ride away concludin' you ain't changed all that much"
[03:06.61] Where do cowboys go when they die?
[03:13.20] Is there a place in the sweet bye and bye?
[03:19.27] Where the water is clean and the grass grows free
[03:25.81] And there ain't a cloud in the sky
