Текст песни: Cowboy Night Herd Song + перевод

On night guard, I’m a ridin'

‘Round a thousand bedded steers

And tonight my thoughts are slidin'

Down the trail of distant years.

Coyotes howlin' in the darkness

Chills my weary bones

Varmints prowl around the campfire

Makes the cowboy feel at home.

(Rogers yodels a bridge)

Now the cold north wind is blowin'

Snow comes fallin' down

Wrapped in my saddle blanket

Sleepin' on the cold cold ground.

I used to ponder over my luck

Wondered why it never changed

I was happy and free

Around my mammy’s knee

Pullin' on her apron strings.

(Rogers yodels a bridge)

(bridge The Sons Of The Pioneers)

Now I long to see the sun come shinin'

Stealin' through my kitchen door

Just to see my dear old mammy cookin' ham

On that old kitchen stove.

Where the mockingbird sings you to sleep at night

The moonbeams playin' through the trees

Some like the climate out in New Mexico

But give me back my sunny Tennessee.

(Rogers yodels a bridge to end)
