I'm a lonesome ole cowboy when the sun goes down
Just lay in my bunk when the boys go to town
Come on, Dusty, the ranch hands all say
We'll find you a gal before the end of the day
I just shake my head and tell 'em to go
Can't tell them the truth and I hope it don't show
For my heart done been stolen by the boss gal herself
She don't know it of course, cause I'm too shy to tell
Miss Millie's as purdy as a monkey can be
She'd never fall for a cowpoke like me
She's feisty and headstrong, a wild little monk
But that's how I like 'em, with plenty of spunk
I wish I could tell her, wish my knees didn't shake
Wish my hands didn't tremble and my voice didn't break
I'll git up the courage to tell her some day
Better do it soon, before Lucky gits in the way!
