Johnny Cash The Greatest Cowboy of Them All song lyrics

I have always had my heroes, I've loved a lot of legends

Many men in my mind are ridin' tall

But my cowboy hero hats off to the man who rode a donkey

He's the greatest cowboy of them all

He loves all his little doggies, he speaks to them kind and gently

And he'll lift up any maverick that falls

He sees every stray that scatters like it's the only one that matters

He's the greatest cowboy of them all

Once he rode into the sunset but some returning sunrise

He'll call up all the riders in the sky

I gotta get my roll together gettin' ready for that sunrise

That winds up where old cowboys never die

The trail he rides is narrow but it's straighter than an arrow

And he rides point for all the great and small

He will take us through the wire onto that plain that's higher

He's the greatest cowboy of them all

Once he rode into the sunset

He's the greatest cowboy of them all
