  			D The cattle are prowlin' the G coyotes are howlin' 
Way A out where the dogies D bawl 
Where spurs are a-jinglin', a G cowboy is singin' 
This A lonesome cattle D call. 

He G rides in the sun 'til his D days work is done 
And he E rounds up the cattle each A fall 
D Woo  -   hoo  -  woo  -  ooo  -  ti  -  de 
A Singin' his cattle D call. 
 
For hours he will ride on the range far and wide 
When the night winds blow up a squall 
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather 
He sings his cattle call. 
 
Refrain 
  
He's brown as a berry from ridin' the prairie 
And he sings with an ol' western drawl 
Woo  -   hoo  -  woo  -  ooo  -  ti  -  de 
Singin' his cattle call. 
 
Refrain
