This Ol’ Cowboy Lyrics By The Marshall Tucker Band

    well i’m sittin’ down in san anton’
    waiting on an eight o’clock train
    my woman left me here last night
    things ain’t been quite the same
    i gotta get back to dallas
    and tie up a few loose ends
    i’m gonna work a week make a hundred dollars
    aw and hit the road again

    so i don’t want you to think
    that you’re the first one
    to leave me out here on my own
    ’cause this ain’t gonna be the first time
    this ol’ cowboy spent the night alone

    well honey i’ve been a fool but a bigger fool
    i can’t remember when i’ve been
    just to open up my heart
    and let you walk right in
    but there’s one thing in life
    that ain’t hard for me to do
    that’s as soon as i kiss the lips of another woman
    i’m gonna forget all about you

    so i don’t want you to think
    that you’re the first one
    to leave me out here on my own
    ’cause this ain’t gonna be the first time
    this ol’ cowboy spent the night alone

    fiddle piano and flute s

    but if you wrote all the woman’s names down i know
    and let me pick one out
    i don’t believe there’d be one in the whole bunch
    aw i’d give a hoot about

    so i don’t want you to think
    that you’re the first one
    to leave this ol’ boy out here on his own
    no it ain’t gonna be the first time
    this ol’ cowboy spent the night alone
    no it ain’t gonna be the first time
    this ol’ cowboy spent the night alone
