When the Cactus is in Bloom

歌詞

The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled Out on the Great Divide I never done no wrong, just singing a song As down the trail I ride Rattle snacks rattle at the prairie dogs You hear that mournful tune It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhand yell They call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse And drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail And I'm gazing at the moon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom We don't have cold weather It never snows or rains That is where the sunshine's best Out on the western plains Some of the boys have gone away But they will be back soon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhand yell They call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse And drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail And I'm gazing at the moon It's roundup time away out West When the cactus is in bloom
