    Homestead Mansion (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6552)Old tin cans for flower pots, burlap sacks for rugsOveralls and calico, lives of lowly mugsBut good land is our homestead and we’re livin’ freeThere ain’t no landlord here to tell us what to beSmall rickety log shack, tar papered all in blackNow, the old chimney points south from the cold north windThe windows are few but the curtains are all blueIn my view it’s a homestead mansion since back when(instrumental)Small rickety log shack, tar papered all in blackNow, the old chimney points south from the cold north windThe windows are few but the curtains are all blueIn my view it’s a homestead mansion since back whenOur little homestead shack, there’s a lot that it lacksBut yet it still has the knack to look so home-likeBoth our hands built it and now we both fit in itOur homestead mansion will have to do for us twoOur homestead mansion is home sweet home for us two

    No Matter What Cowboy You Are (Larry W. Jones 01/24/2012) (song #6550)You’re just an old cowboy, and that’s all you will beFor all you can offer is a range of the freeThe thoughts of your wanderin’ heart are always too farNo matter what cowboy you areNo matter what cowboy you areNo matter what cowgirl gives you kissin’ so fineYou’ll be long gone and missin’ in just a short timeCowboy, your guiding light is a wandering starNo matter what cowboy you areNo matter what cowboy you are(instrumental)The open range is your lover, always will beCowboy, your kind of roving looks somewhat like meThey’ll all sing about you on their campfire guitarsNo matter what cowboy you areNo matter what cowboy you areYou have no woman’s warm arms to hold you at nightCause you’re out on the range under stars shining brightThe thoughts of your wanderin’ heart are always too farNo matter what cowboy you areNo matter what cowboy you are

    My Texian Cowgirl (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6549)I see my cowgirl in the Texian sunlightAnd I see my cowgirl in the Texian FallI see her riding in sunny April gladnessAnd hear her soft voice in whippoorwills callI told the dogies in the pasture and prairie dogs in the groundTo everyone I shouted about the true love that I had foundMy heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood treeAnd it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with me(instrumental)My heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood treeAnd it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with meI see my cowgirl in the Texian sunlightAnd I see my cowgirl in the Texian FallI see her riding in sunny April gladnessAnd hear her soft voice in whippoorwills callI told the dogies in the pasture and prairie dogs in the groundTo everyone I shouted about the true love that I had foundMy heart is just as high as the highest western cottonwood treeAnd it’s all because my Texian cowgirl is in love with meMy Texian cowgirl is in love with me

    Kingwood Kowboy (Larry W. Jones 01/23/2012) (song #6548)Boys, I write for the old cowboy nationAnd I hope my songs bring you fellows joyI wonder if the next generationWill remember the Kingwood KowboyNow, I have traveled the wide world overAnd many odd jobs have seen my employIt’s my time to rest under the cloverThat will soon welcome the Kingwood KowboyCowboy songs I’ve written melodialSome were happy while some were sad or coyBut my best were of cowboys jovialSo boys, think well of the Kingwood KowboyI can now see the coming last roundupThat memories of trails will soon destroyBut boys, flowers will grow from the ground upTo remind you of the Kingwood KowboyNow, when I am laid out in fine linenPardners, my old cowboy songs redeployWhen you lower the lid of the coffinSing an old song for the Kingwood KowboyAnd when on the old wagon they bear meLadies may weep over the real McCoyFor there will come no other to compare meThere will be no other Kingwood KowboyBoys, go and find some jovial fellowsAnd let them stagger as they all deployTo dig me a deep grave in the meadowAnd drink whiskey to the Kingwood KowboyThen get a couple of granite grave stonesFor my head and my feet just like Rob RoyAnd then boys, scratch on them, here lies the bonesOf the old song writer, Kingwood KowboyThen may all of you jovial cowboysSurround my cold prairie grave full of joyDrink whiskey til all of you will annoyThe mem’ry of the old Kingwood Kowboy
