[C]One beautiful night when the [F]moon was full
And the [C]air was crisp and [G]clear
A cow[C]boy lay on the star lit [F]plain
And [G]thought of his [G7]home so [C]dear
+ C - F - C - G - C
He thought of his mother he loved so well
And his slumber of sleep was blurred
Not a sound to be heard but throws ? of the night
As he sang a wild song to his herd
+ C - F - C - G - C
The cattle are lying so quite and still
On a carpet that mantles the west ?
While the golden lanes from the sky of night
Sing peace to the cowboys stress ?
+ C - F - C - G - C
Still he thinks of his mother in a far away land
And his thoughts by his memory was stirred
And he steals himself the old home again
As he sang a wild song to his herd
He's far from the din of the city noise
Where the lanes of folly do shine
He's far from the jaws of the dies sin ?
And the flow of sparkling wine
He's in the great west with its mantle of green
Where his neighbors say never a word
A land of marriage of mountains and plains
Where a cowboy sings low to his herd
