Cowpuncher's Cantata (Medley) - Max Bygraves

I travelled across to America
And when I arrived in America
They said some you know you can't go wrong
If you finish your show with a cowboy song
So I practiced all day to get the song right
And I dreamed of those songs
All through the night
That night I heard the wild goose cry
He has got mixed up with the riders in the sky
Tried to sleep but it was in vain
Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train
My heart goes where the mule train goes
And I must go where the mule train goes
Brother goose mother goose don't you fear
Cause I've been arrived and to prove it I'm here
Aha ma sumac
The riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
If you're looking for the wild goose
He's on the mule train
So cowboy mend your ways today
Forget your life of sin
And you will be in time to meet
The shrimp boats coming in
My heart goes where the shrimp boats go
And I must go where the shrimp boats go
I'm gonna ride that dusty trail
Cos they've locked up my lover in Allentown jail
You know this kinda reminds me of the first time
I blew into tombstone city yessir that night
I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs kept howling
I couldn't understand why they kept howling then
I found out ain't no trees on the prairie jest cactus
If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you sonny boy
