Bunkhouse Blues

[Verse] At the broken heart ranch You can always get work As a cow-fool There's feeling's to wrangle Loose ends to untangle and tie Sun up to sundown Riding herd on old memories Sundown to sun up Singing the bunkhouse blues There's a lone bawling 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 grinning down at him I'm singing 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 Playing cards and killing time Somebody stole my pigging line This ain't no nursery rhyme I'm talking the bunkhouse blues
