Hi

I search everywhere... English is not my native language and those old 78 rpm can be difficult to understand. I tried to transcribe the lyrics of the song Cowboy's Wife form Billie Maxwell recorded in 1929 in El Paso. If anyone can help me, i would be very grateful. You can find the song on Youtube.


Cowboy’s Wife

Standing alone in the door way
Thru the twilight      eyes
Listening
When my cowboy comes from the


Far away to
A coyote started this refrain
His brother join him in
And they singing again and again

At last         somewhere
I hear



I know that my cowboy is coming
So I                turn away


And fix up the fire
        biscuit to bake


Then    apron
smudge        nose
And back at my post to greet him
That man in         western cloths

I hear
        on the ground

I can                         sound

At last, I hear his foot steps approching
And I almost hold my breath
For in my heart I am hoping
That he'll notice my new jean dress

He comes, but his eyes wander past me
As he greets me with a kiss at the door
And I know that he's wanting his supper
For I've been through the whole thing before,

So I place the hot supper before him
Oh, yes, I shall surely do my part
As I swallow my own disappointment
For I know that's the way to his heart
