Lyrics[]
[LeAnn yodels]
[LeAnn:]
The cattle are prowling, the coyotes are howling
Way out where the doggies roam
Where spurs are a jingling, the cowboy is singing
His lonesome cattle call
[LeAnn yodels]
[LeAnn:]
He rides in the sun
'Til his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
[LeAnn yodels]
[LeAnn:]
Singing his cattle call
[Instrumenta]
[Eddie:]
For hours he would ride on the range far and wide
When the night wind blows up and slow
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call
[Both yodel]
[Eddie:]
He's browned as a berry
From riding the prairie
And he sings with an old western drawl
[Both yodel]
[Eddie:]
Singing his cattle call
[Both yodel]
