Mama I'm a cowboy Red Steagall
Written by Richard O'Brien
[D]Theres nothing left but ashes, The (Em)fire is gone for good
I'm (A7)trapped here in this cabin, To (G)cold to go for(D) wood
So I thought I'd write a letter, Let you (Em) know that i'm okay
Though my (A7) leg still hurts a little, From (G) a bad spill (A7) yester (D) day (D7)
Chorus:
Dear (G) mama I'm a (A7) cowboy
And (D) I know that breaks your (G) heart
All (A7) the things they wrote about me
Must of (G) torn your world (A7) apart
So (D) mama please forgive me
Though (Em) I drove you near insane
I (A7) never killed nobody
I (G) never rob (A7) bed that (D) train
We found him in the springtime, At the (Em) table where he died
(A7)Tears had stained the letter, When (G) he bowed his head and (D) cried
We all just bawled like babies, As we (Em) read it one by one
And (A7) thought about our own mamas, All (G) the things (A7) we'd left (D) undone
Chorus:
Tag: (spoken)
(D) Then we rolled him in his blanket
And as (Em) the boy's all gathered around
(A7) I read his letter one more time
Then (G) we lowered him into the (D) ground (D7) Repeat chorus;
