The Hip Mo' Toast Big Band - I'm Just a Wandering Cowgirl

I'm always chasing cattle yet I never lose the herd
But when it comes to lovers I'm forever stuck on third
The game of love's a gamble for a wandering girl like me
My happy trails provide no remedy
The tumbleweeds are rolling through
The ghost town of my heart
A cactus is my only friend and this is just the start
'Cos when it comes to men I find
There's never a stampede
Just one single man that's all I need
I guess I'll never have my own affair
How'll I ever find someone to care for?

I'm just a wandering cowgirl with nobody to call my own
I'm just a wandering cowgirl all alone
Got the sunshine and the breezes
But nobody to give me squeezes
I call to this lonely canyon, but nobody home

I'm just a wandering cowgirl
With lonesome heart and teary eye
I'm just a wandering cowgirl, wondering why?
When the big ol' moon starts shining up above
I wish that I had myself someone to love

Wandering, wandering, I am always wondering,
Where am I to find myself a cowgirl to call my own?
Westering, westering, safe inside my vest a ring
For the little lass I'm going to lasso for all my own

Oh, heaven knows
She's a rambling rose
I'm howling like a lone coyote at the moonlight
So wandering, wandering, I will keep on wandering
'Til I find myself a little cowgirl to call my own

Heaven knows
(Wandering, wandering, I am always wandering)
She's a rambling rose
(Wondering, wondering, I am always wondering)
She'll hear my song
(What to bring, what to sing, want the guy with everything)
And sing along
(Rovering, reckoning, lonely days are over)

I'm rootin'-tootin' outta town
When I see you my head spins 'round
And then our eyes meet

We're just a couple of cowhands
Forever hand in hand we'll roam
We're just a couple of cowhands far from home
Now that I have found my sweetie
We'll roam from Texas to Tahiti
We'll travel the whole world over, never to part

We're just a couple of cowhands
Our hearts a-jingling like our spurs
We're so in love 'cos I'm his and I am hers
When the big ol' moon starts shining up above
I know that I've found somebody
(Everybody loves somebody, baby)
Somebody to love!
