Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
recorded by Willie Nelson
written by Ed and Patsy Bruce
CF
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
G7
Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
C
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
F
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
G7
they'll never stay home and they're always alone
C
even with someone they love
F
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
G7C
and they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis
F
And each night begins a new day
G7
and if you don't understand him and he don't die young
C
he'll probably just ride away
Repeat chorus
F
A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
G7C
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
F
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
G7
He's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
C
Do things to make you think he's right
