COWBOY JACK (as sung by ANDY GLENZ)
G C
There was a lonely cowboy
D G
With a heart so brave and true
C
He learned to love a maiden
D G
With eyes of heaven's own blue
They learned to love each other
And named their wedding day
But a quarrel came between them
And Jack, he rode away.
He joined a band of cowboys
And tried to forget her name
Out on the lonely prairie,
She waits for him the same
One night when work was finished
Just at the close of day,
Someone said 'sing a song Jack.
To drive your Tears away'
When Jack Began his singing
His mind it wondered back
He sang a song of a maiden
Who waited for her Jack.
(Refrain)
G C
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack
D G
Your sweetheart waits for you
C
Out on the lonely prairie
D G
Your sweetheart waits for you
Jack left the camp next morning,
Breathing his sweetheart's name
For he'd go and ask forgiveness
for he know he was to blame.
When he reached the lonely prairie,
He found a new made mound,
His friends they sadly told him,
They laid his loved one down.
They said as she lay dying
Breathing here sweethearts name
And told them with her last breath
To tell him when he came
(Refrain)
C C
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack,
D G
Your sweetheart waits for you
C
Out on the lonely prairie
D G
Where skies are always blue
