When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings 作曲 : David Rawlings Let me tell you buddy there’s a faster gun Coming over yonder when tomorrow comes Let me tell you buddy and it won’t be long till you find yourself singing your last cowboy song Yippee-ki-iy-ay, when the roundup ends Yippee-ki-iy-ay, and the campfire dims Yippee-ki-iy-ay, he shouts and he sings When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings When they wrap my body in the thin linen sheet And they take my six-irons, pull the boots from my feet Unsaddle my pony, she’ll be itching to roam I’ll be half way to heaven under horsepower of my own Yippee-ki-iy-ay, when the roundup ends Yippee-ki-iy-ay, and the campfire dims Yippee-ki-iy-ay, he shouts and he sings When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings Yippee-ki-iy-ay, I’m glory-bound no more jingle jangle, I lay my guns down Yippee-ki-iy-ay, he shouts and he sings When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
