  ********** MAMAS DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS *********

  

  written by E. & P. Bruce

  

  performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

  

  

  

  Verse 1:

        D                                                   G  

  	Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold

  	        A                                       D

  	They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold

                                                               G           

  	Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new day	

                  A                         

  	If you don't understand him and he don't die young

                                     D

  	He'll probably just ride away

  

  

  Chorus:

           D                                         G     

  	Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

                 A                                         

  	Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

                                                D

  	Make them be doctors and lawyers and such

                                                     G  

  	Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

                   A             

  	They'll never stay home and they're always alone

                                  D  

  	Even with someone they love

  

  

  Verse 2:(A tone higher) 

        E                                                        A 

  	Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornings

           B                                                 E

  	Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

  

  	Them that don't know him won't like him

                            A 

  	And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

              B

  	He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him

                                                  E

  	Do the things that make you think he's right

  

  

  Chorus bis:

  	 E                                         A     

  	Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

                 B                                         

  	Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

                                                E

  	Make them be doctors and lawyers and such

                                                     A  

  	Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

                   B             

  	They'll never stay home and they're always alone

                                  E  

  	Even with someone they love
