Cowboy's Blessing

An old cowboy went out in the desert
At the end of the century past
He said Lord, a new era is dawning
And I know my time soon will be past

So keep the sky blue as an Opal
Let a clean wind blow strong in the air
Lord, I've had so many blessings
Just one more I am asking
Please let my children have theirs

I’ve got young ones who’re riding behind me
All of them new to the trail
And I hope you'll be guiding their footsteps
And reach your arms out, should they fail

And keep the sky blue as an Opal
Let a clean wind blow strong in the air
Lord, I've had so many blessings
Just one more I am asking
Please let my children have theirs

Well, he never went back to the bunkhouse
And he never was heard from again
But I still hear, a hundred years later
His voice on the wind

Keep the sky blue as an Opal
Let a clean wind blow strong in the air
Lord, I've had so many blessings
Just one more I am asking
Please let my children have theirs

Please let my children have theirs
Please let my children have theirs
