Cowboy Jack
Recorded by Don Edwards
Written by A.P. Carter
[3/4 time]

G                    C
He was just a lonely cowboy
       D7                 G
With a heart so brave and true
                     C
He learned to love a maiden
     D7                   G
With eyes of heaven's own blue

                          C
They learned to love each other
    D7                  G
And named their wedding day
                       C
When a quarrel came between them
    D7           G
And Jack he rode away

                    C
He joined a band of cowboys
    D7                  G
And tried to forget her name
                      C
But out on the lonely prairie
    D7                G
She waits for him the same

                        C
One night when work was finished
     D7              G
Just at the close of day
                    C
Someone said sing a song Jack
   D7               G
To drive dull cares away

                    C
When Jack began his singing
    D7               G
His mind it wondered back
             C
He sang of a maiden
    D7             G
Who waited for her Jack

                          C
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack
     D7                   G
Your sweetheart waits for you
                  C
Out on the lonely prairie
      D7                   G
Where the skies are always blue

                        C
Jack left the camp next morning
    D7                     G
Breathing his sweetheart's name
                   C
I'll go and ask forgiveness
    D7                  G
For I know that I am to blame

                   C
He crossed the old Red River
    D7                  G
And headed straight for town
                           C
But his friends they sadly told him
     D7                 G
They laid his loved one down

                     C
They said as she was dying
    D7                        G
She breathed her sweetheart's name
                      C
And ask them with her last breath
   D7               G
To tell him when he came

                          C
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack
     D7                   G
Your sweetheart waits for you
                  C
Out on the lonely prairie
          D7               G
Where the skies are always blue
