Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies
Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
Cowboys ain’t easy
to love
And they’re harder
to hold
They’d rather give
you a song
Than diamonds or
gold
Lone Star belt
buckles
And old faded Levis
And each night
begins a new day
If you don’t understand
him
And he don’t die
young
He’ll probably just
ride away
Mamas
Don’t let your
babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ‘em pick
guitars
Or drive them old
trucks
Let ‘em be doctors
And lawyers
And such
Mamas
Don’t let you
babies grow up to be cowboys
‘Cause they’ll
never stay home
And they’re always
alone
Even with someone
they love
Cowboys like smoky
old pool rooms
And clear mountain
mornings
Little warm puppies
And children
And girls of the
night
Them that don’t him
won’t like him
And them that do
Sometimes won’t
know how to take him
He ain’t wrong
He’s just different
But his pride won’t
let him
Do things to make
you think he’s right
Mamas
Don’t let your
babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ‘em pick
guitars
Or drive them old
trucks
Let ‘em be doctors
And lawyers
And such
Mamas
Don’t let you
babies grow up to be cowboys
‘Cause they’ll
never stay home
And they’re always
alone
Even with someone
they love
Mamas
Don’t let your
babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ‘em pick
guitars
Or drive them old
trucks…

I love love love Waylan and Willie! sandie
ReplyDeleteDid they ever duet on "Amanda" - one of my favs by just about anyone.
ReplyDeleteWillie Nelson top man, still smoking (in every sense of the word) after all these years.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved that song
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! What is there not to love?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! I'm not sure if they ever did a duet of "Amanda," but Waylon had a big hit with it back in the early 70's (I think). His and Don William's version are two of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! Yeah, it's hard to imagine that he turned 78 last April. As an added footnote, it is said that he wrote "Crazy," which was a huge hit for Patsy Cline, while eating breakfast at Martha's Pancake House here in Springfield. It is not said if he was actually thinking of the pancakes at the time, but since the place is still in business, they would have to be pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! It was hard picking between Luckenbach TX, Good-Hearted Woman and a host of others.
ReplyDeleteDon Williams I Believe in You. I just melt...::sigh::
ReplyDeleteIf only they had become cowboys.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping again, my dear Grace!!! Indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Well, singing about the life is a lot easier than actually living it. Although, I am quite sure that both of them woke-up feeling like something had kicked them in the head more times than they would like to count.
