A COWBOY'S DREAM
As recorded by Eddy Arnold on "Cattle Call," 1963.

Last night as I lay on the prairie
And looked at the stars in the sky,
I wondered if ever a cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by.

CHORUS: Roll on, roll on,
Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on
Roll on, roll on,
Roll on, little dogies, roll on.

The road to that bright happy region
Is a dim narrow trail, so they say,
But the broad one that leads to perdition
Is posted and blazed all the way.

They say there will be a great roundup
And cowboys like dogies will stand
To be marched by the riders of judgment
Who are posted and know every brand. CHORUS

They say he will never forget you,
That he knows every action and look,
So for safety, you'd better get branded,
Have your name in the great tally book. CHORUS
