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
