(Intro)
(Verse 1)
In the corner of a dark barroom
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes
Singing songs that he learned as a child
All about the West back when it was wild
He said he came from down Texas way
The cowboys were tough the women the same way
Said he was a star back in '31
When Hollywood liked him
For some songs that he had done
(Chorus)
He's the last of the singing cowboys
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Verse 2)
He took a break just to chug him down some beer
C'mon folks now holler out
The songs you'd like to hear
And if I know one I know a million or two
I'm not just up here playing for me
This is all done for you
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore
Said it was the finest made since the war
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Instrumental break)
(Verse 3)
And after three hours or maybe more
A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door
The bartender said he's blind you see
Don't tell him the only audience
He had was you and me
(Chorus)
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Yippie-I-Ay
