Secret Cowboys

The tune is analagous to that heard in "Mommas, Don't Let Your Babies..." -- a Mex-Tex waltz beat with a flavor of the fandango behind it.

As performed by Willie Nelson and transcribed from the movie download at

There's many a strange impulse
Out on the plains of west Texas
There's many a young boy
Who feels things he can't comprehend.
And a small town don't like it
When somebody falls between sexes
No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

I believe to my soul that inside every man there's a fem'ine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
An' a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women,
But the ones who brags loudest are the onea who 're most likely queer.

Cho:   Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other!
          Say what d'you think all them saddles an' boots was about?
          An' there's many a cowboy who don't unnerstand
         The way that he feels for his brother.
         And inside every cowboy, there's a lady that'd love to slip out.

An there's always somebody, who says what the others just whisper.
An' mostly that someone is the first one to get shot down dead.
So when you talk to a cowboy, don't treat him like he was a sister.
You can't.....the lady that's sleeping in each cowboy's head.

    Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other!
    Say what d'you think all them saddles an' boots was about?
    An' there's many a cowboy who don't unnerstand
    The way that he feels for his brother.
    And inside every lady, there's a cowboy who wants to come out.
    And inside every cowboy, there's a lady that'd love to slip out.
