CHRISTMAS FOR COWBOYS
(Eric Weissberg)

Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas day
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
Of all the good gifts given today,
Ours is the sky and the wide-open range.

Back in the cities, they have different ways:
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
I'll take the blanket. I'll take the reins:
Christmas for cowboys on the wide-open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night,
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray.
It's Christmas for cowboys on the wide-open plains.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day,
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
So many gifts have been opened today!
Ours is the sky and the wide-open range.

It's Christmas for cowboys on the wide-open plains.

Recorded by John Denver on "Rocky Mountain Christmas," 1975
