Up top in a bunk in the bunkhouse
The yodeling cowboy laid
Calling his friends all around him
These last few words he did say

I'm goin' on to join
The boy says go on
There's dark shadow hand on my head
Take down my guitar
From the peg on the wall
I'll sing my last song from my bed

Play softer, the light's gettin' dimmer
Play softer, my breath is so slow
Y
The Yodeling Cowboy's Last Song
Y
I know my time is not long

Raise up my pillow my head is too low
Raise up my pillow before i must go
Y
The Yodeling Cowboy's Last Song
Y

Raise up my pillow my head is too low
Raise up my pillow before i must go
Y
