I'm lonesome but happy,         and the Good Lord knows the reason,
            rich but I'm broke,                    I'm just a cowpoke

From Cheyenne to Douglas,         'Cause I drift with the wind,
          All the ranges I know,               No one cares where I go

I ain't got a dime,             So I'll stop eatin' steak,
      In these old worn out jeans,               And go back to beans

I'll pick up a ten spot,        Well, I'm ridin' the broncs,
          And press God I know,                    In the big rodeo

Some evening in springtime,     And I might spend all the summer,
              A felly I'll find,                  With her on my mind

But I'll never be branded,      I'm a carefree range ridin',
            And never be broke,                      Driftin' cowpoke
