By Arlo Guthrie

This morning I woke up alone
I spent the day time on my own
Lots of people have come and gone
To hear a cowboy sing an old time song

CHORUS:
Oh babe, I love you so
This here is the only thing I know
It ain't right and it ain't wrong
To hear a cowboy sing an old time song

Last night I sat 'till closing time
Thinking of the things that crossed my mind
You were the one I was thinking of
I guess it must be that I'm just in love

CHORUS

I hope they play this song of mine
On the jukebox for a dime
Then if you leave 'cause something's wrong
You'll hear your cowboy sing an old time song

CHORUS
