VERSE 1
As a young man he learned, how to rope and to ride
His daddy had taught him, the meaning of pride
He learned how to work, and he learned how to sweat
And he learned to be true, to the promises kept

CHORUS
He's a hard workin cowboy, an old saddle tramp
With a bedroll and saddle, he'd make up his camp
He's a hard workin cowboy, who's time is long past
But he'll work them old doggies, till he gives up his last.

VERSE 2
There once was a woman, he truely admired
A pretty young lady, with eyes full of fire
But the call of the saddle, he could not ignore
And after he'd gone, he rode all the more

CHORUS
He's a hard workin cowboy, an old saddle tramp
With a bedroll and saddle, he'd make up his camp
He's a hard workin cowboy, who's time is long past
But he'll work them old doggies, till he gives up his last

VERSE 3
Now he knows the times come, to take his last ride
So he cinches his saddle, and mounts up with pride
As he watches the young man, who'll soon take his place
The wisdom of age, is eched on his face

FINAL CHORUS
He's a hard workin cowboy, just an old saddle tramp
But the fires gone out, and he's breakin up camp
He's a hard workin cowboy, who's given his best
For him the rides over, at last he can rest

Tag Line:
Yeah - for him the rides over, at last he can rest
