Текст песни: The Romance of Western Life + перевод

The old black bull

got stuck in the mud

for six hours we pushed and we pried

finally took four horses

to pull him free

and when we got our ropes untied

he looked up at the sky

then he give out a big sigh

and he laid down his head and he died

we started for town

but the truck broke down

we walked home five miles in the rain

and we’d have been glad for that

but we had hay on the ground

and the timing was kind of a shame

and the romance ain’t completely gone

to this cowboy life we’ve chose

but the bliss that I’d been counting on

well it comes and then it goes

I could have been a lawyer or something

but it’s too late for that now

cause the only thing I know anything about

is a damned old hereford cow

well the creek come up

took the watergap down

our yearlings were nowhere to be found

only taken us a week to gather em all

be easier the second time around

at least that’s what I thought

till I seen Shorty there looking blue

just before we left for town

he turned our horses out there too

(they went with the yearlings)

and the romance ain’t completely gone

but it’s wearing kind of thin

I know that there’s a lot of things

I maybe could have been

I could have been a fireman

but it’s too late for that now

cause the only thing I know anything about

is a damned old hereford cow

no the romance ain’t completely gone

to this cowboy life we’ve chose

but the bliss that I’d been counting on

well it comes and then it goes

I could have been a lot of things

and I guess I still could now

but the only thing I really care about

is a damned old hereford cow
