Lyrics
Lonesome Buckaroo (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2011) (song#6337)
The prairie moon tonight is bestowing
Golden beams in a night of velvet blue
As if the man in the moon is knowing
Heartfelt dreams of a lonesome buckaroo
Deep in the night the moon keeps on shining
On a cowboy ridin' herd until dawn
Deep in his heart he feels a strong pining
For love right along with his night herd song
In the night the cowboy sings lonesome songs
Only the wind carries his heartfelt tune
Merry they could be but now they belong
To a lonesome buckaroo and the moon
(instrumental)
Deep in the night the moon keeps on shining
On a cowboy ridin' herd until dawn
Deep in his heart he feels a strong pining
For love right along with his night herd song
In the night the cowboy sings lonesome songs
Only the wind carries his heartfelt tune
Merry they could be but now they belong
To a lonesome buckaroo and the moon
Merry they could be but now they belong
To a lonesome buckaroo and the moon
