When the Bloom is on the Sage (Round-Up Time in Texas) [with John Scott Trotter's Frying Pan Five]
When it's round-up time in Texas
And the bloom is on the sage
Then I long to be in Texas
Back a-riding on the range
Just to smell the bacon fryin'
When it's sizzlin' in the pan
Hear the breakfast horn, in the early morn'
Drinking coffee from a can
Just a-riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
How it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
(Yode-le-hi)
(Yode-le-hi)
When it's round-up time in Texas
And the bloom is on the sage
Then I long to be in Texas
Back a-riding on the range
Just to smell the bacon fryin'
When it's sizzlin' in the pan
Hear the breakfast horn, in the early morn'
Drinking coffee from a can
Just a-riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
Oh, it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
Riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
How it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
And the bloom is on the sage
Then I long to be in Texas
Back a-riding on the range
Just to smell the bacon fryin'
When it's sizzlin' in the pan
Hear the breakfast horn, in the early morn'
Drinking coffee from a can
Just a-riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
How it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
(Yode-le-hi)
(Yode-le-hi)
When it's round-up time in Texas
And the bloom is on the sage
Then I long to be in Texas
Back a-riding on the range
Just to smell the bacon fryin'
When it's sizzlin' in the pan
Hear the breakfast horn, in the early morn'
Drinking coffee from a can
Just a-riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
Oh, it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
Riding, rockin', ropin'
Poundin' leather all day long
Just a-swayin', sweatin', swearin'
Listen to a cowhand's song
How it beckons, and I reckon
I would work for any wage
To be free again, just to be again
When the bloom is on the sage
