When The Cactus Is In Bloom

The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled Out on the Great Divide I never done no wrong, just singing a song As down the trail I ride The rattlesnakes rattle at the prairie dogs Don't you hear that mournful tune For it's roundup time away out West When the cactus are in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhands yell They call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse I drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail I'm gazing at the moon For it's roundup time away out West When the cactus are in bloom [Yodel] We don't have cold weather It never snows or rains That is where the sunshine's best Out on the western plains Some of the boys have gone away But they will be back soon For it's roundup time away out West When the cactus are in bloom Daylight comes and the cowhands yell They call out ev'ry man I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse I drink my coffee from a can The sun goes down on the cattle trail I'm gazing at the moon For it's roundup time away out West When the cactus are in bloom [Yodel]
