    C             F 
I'm lonesome but happy 
 F             C 
Rich but I'm broke 
     F                       C 
And the good Lord knows the reason 
 F            C    G 
I'm just a cowpoke 

 C                F 
From Cheyenne to Douglas 
 F                C 
All the ranges I know 
     F             C 
'Cause I drift with the wind 
 Am 
No one cares where I go

 C           F 
I ain't got a dime 
 F                   C 
In these old worn out jeans 
        F        C 
So I'll stop eatin' steak 
 F             C 
And go back to beans 

 C            F 
I'll pick up a ten spot 
 F          C 
In Prescot I know 
 F         C 
Ridin' the broncs 
 F         C 
In the big rodeo

 C          F 
Some evening springtime 
 F          C 
A filly I'll find 
       F             C 
And I might spend all the summer 
     F       C 
With her on my mind 

C               F 
But I'll never be branded 
F          C 
And never be broke 
      F            C 
I'm a carefree range ridin' 
   Am 
Driftin' cowpoke
