There Once Was a Lavendar Cowboy
My fifth grade class visited Yosemite National Park in, I think it was, 1985. In the car on the way home the lads and I composed the following verse. I don´t remember the name of the original song we stole the music from, but it sounds a bit like this:
Ba DUM ba ba DUM dee dee DUM ba
Ba DUM dee dee BUM dee dee DUM
Ba DUM dee dee DUM bum dee BUM dum
Dee BUM dee dee BUM dee dee BUM
Here are the lyrics to the song:
There once was a lavendar cowboy
the hairs on his chest there were two
he wanted to live like the heroes
and do like the heroes would do
Red orange and yellow hair tonic
he rubbed on his chest every night
and when he awoke in the morning
there was only two hairs there in sight
He fought for the hand of sweet Nelly
the ugliest girl in the West
he died with his six-guns a-blazin’
and only two hairs on his chest
