Two High String Band — Bunkhouse Blues lyrics

Lyrics

At the Broken Heart Ranch
You can always get work
As a cowfool
There’s feelin’s to wrangle
Loose ends to untangle and tie
Sun up to sundown
Ridin’herd on old memories
Sundown to sun up Singin’the bunkhouse blues
There’s a lone bawlin’calf
Lost in a little box canyon
Got no companion
Lord, don’t I know how he feels
Up there on the canyon rim
Blows a cold coyote wind
Buzzards grinnin’down at him
I’m singin’the bunkhouse blues
At the Broken Heart Ranch
Saturday night sure gets lonesome
I long for the lights
And the comfort of someone in town
Playin’cards and killin’time
Somebody stole my piggin’line
this ain’t no nursery rhyme
I’m talkin’the bunkhouse blues
