Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Cattle Call
Cattle Call
Cattle Call
(Tex Owens)
When the cattle are prowlin'
The coyotes are howlin'
Out where he doggies bawl
Where spurs are a jinglin'
This cowboys a singin'
A lonesome cattle call
(long yodel)
I ride in the sun
Till my days work is done
Roundin up cattle each fall
(short yodel)
Singin my cattle call
For hours I will ride
On the range far and wide
Night winds blow up a squall
I don't care what the weather
My hearts light as a feather
Singin' my cattle call.
(long yodel)
There is also one version with the lines
He's brown as a berry
From ridin' the prairie
And he sings with an old western drawl
as recorded by Slim Whitman
