Jessie was a lonesome cowboy
|
All he knew was rope and ride
|
And when the trail ran near town
|
His friends and him would drink a round
|
Cause it's a little too long to be a long time gone without her
|
|
Just a decade ago he left her
|
Headed for the a wild, wild west
|
Never once did it cross his mind
|
That there would ever be a time
|
It's a little too long to be a long time gone without her
|
When the winter wind blows cold
|
That's when he wishes he could hold her tight
|
|
All the gold in California
|
Doesn't shine like the eyes
|
Of the girl he left behind
|
That forever haunts his mind
|
Cause it's a little too long to be a long time gone without her
|
|
There's a gathering on the hillside
|
To lay ole Jesse down to rest
|
And on the coffin was a rose
|
Placed by a women no one knows
|
It's a little too long to be a long time gone without her
|
Jesse was a lonesome cowboy
