  1          *          57          *

  Too old to wrangle or ride on the swing

      *            *             1           *

  You beat the tri-angle and you curse every-thing

     *          *             4            *    (*)

  If dirt was a kingdom, then you'd be the king____

  

  

  CHORUS:

         1         57            1      4     (*)

  On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail____

      1           *           57     *

  Our old woman's lonesome to-night____

       1           57           1            4    (*)

  Your French Harp blows like a lone bawling calf____

         1          6m         2m            57

  It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin

      *            *            4      1

  Get in there and blow out the light____

  

  

            1             *              57        *

  With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments too

          *      *            1          *

  You can do any-thing that a doctor can do

     *           *             4           *    (*)

  Ex-cept find a cure for your own goddamn stew____

  

  

      1                *           57           *

  The cook-fire's gone out and the coffee's all gone

      *            *            1           *

  The boys are all up and we're raising the dawn

         *             *         4         *    (*)

  You're still sitting there all lost in a song____

  

    1              *             57          *

  I know that some-day that I'll be just the same

  *          *        1          *

  Wearing an apron in-stead of a name

      *          *             4           *     (*)

  But no one can change it and no one's to blame____

  

  'Cause the desert's a book writ in lizards and sage

  It's easy to look like an old torn-out page

  All faded and cracked with the colors of age
