Wagon Widow

She was charmed by this bold knight of the saddle
And stories of the romance of the west
Now she lives in a camp that’s barely fit for livin’. She’s been put to the test.
He’ll keep the wood box full and fuel in the lantern
Do what he can for his little lady, a tender thing in lace and calico with
Calloused hands that were once soft and pretty

CHORUS
She’s a wagon widow and the hard times don’t cut her no slack
But one thing about being a wagon widow is her cowboy’s comin’ back
Yes, her cowboy’s comin’ back

He takes every advantage of a chance to see his family
It’s long spells between trips to town
And each time he goes his kids grow a foot taller
But the cowboy just can’t let em down
There’s many a family stuck at some cow camp
Waiting for the wagon to pull in
As their towheaded girl runs to the front door and yells
“Mommy that cowboy’s here again”

CHORUS
She’s a wagon widow and the hard times don’t cut her no slack
But one thing about being a wagon widow is her cowboy’s comin’ back
Yes, her cowboy’s comin’ back
