Through progress of the railroads,
our occupation's gone;
we'll get our ideas into words,
our words into a song,
first comes the cowboy -
he's the spirit of the West;
of all the pioneers I claim
the cowboys are the best.
We'll miss him in the round-up,
it's gone, his merry shout,
the cowboy has left the country,
his camp fire has gone out.
You freighters, our companions,
you've got to leave this land;
can't drag your loads for nothing
through the gumbo and the sand;
the railroads are bound to beat you -
so do your level best,
give it up to the granger
and strike out farther west.
Big them all adieu
and give the merry shout,
"The cowboy has left the country
and his camp fire has gone out."
When I think of those good ol
