►LYRICS – Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
Cowboys ain’t easy to love and they’re harder to hold
They’d rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone star belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
If you don’t understand him and he don’t die young
Oh, he’ll probably just ride away
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ’em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make ’em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smoky ol’ poolrooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don’t know him won’t like him
And them that do sometimes won’t know how to take him
He ain’t wrong, he’s just different
But his pride won’t let him do things to make you think he’s right
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ’em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make ’em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
Even with someone they love
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don’t let ’em
Make ’em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
Even with someone they love
They’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
Even with someone they love

LYRICS – Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
————
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone star belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
If you don't understand him and he don't die young
Oh, he'll probably just ride away
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smoky ol' poolrooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Album: Hopefully a future album
GET IT MAMA!!!
Not all horses, not all horses!
So very nice to see Karen singing again and a duet with Matt. They did a very nice job 👍 with this song. 👏🏻
I love the out take. And C.K. You are a real trooper getting so close to the horse’s while filming and getting nipped out.🤪 you deserve combat pay for that one.
Blessings! 🙏To you all.
Bill and family,
😎😊😄🤠❤️✝️
Awesome! Thank you, Mamma! And of course everyone else as well. Careful with those horses… Lol
It's about time mama got center stage!
Éljen a nagymama!
Très drôle la fin de la vidéo🤭C'est bien de laisser à chaque fois à la fin des petites séquences vidéo inattendues.
Great 🎵🎶 & venue.🎉🎉
Great performance! 🤣🤣
YES!!! I've been waiting for what seems like forever to hear Mama on the mic.
Very nice!
Marvelous !!!💯💯💯
It's all about the bass…!
Well. That settles it. . .We def need more of Momma getting it! "It" being center stage vocals.
It's great seeing Mamma stepping up for once instead of hiding in the background!
I always know to keep the captions on at the end of the video and it never disappoints 😂😂
Woohoo! Mama is singing!
Awesome as usual thanks for a great tune
An awesome, very clever arrangement breathed new life into this old once popular country western gem. Very nice.
Mom did a great job. Go mom
Ya'll is so good. Let me warn you. Don't perform around Billy goats.
WOW! YOU GOT IT MAMMA!
Fiddle!
That was fantastic.
Y’all need to do Travelers Lantern by Dwight Yokum. Think y’all would do great
