Lavender Cowboy Composer(s): Harold Hersey Performer(s): Al St. John and multiple other artists
He was only a lavender cowboy The hairs on his chest were two But he wished to follow the heroes And fight like the he-men do
But he was inwardly troubled By a dream that gave him no rest That he'd go with his heroes in action With only two hairs on his chest
First he tried many a hair tonic 'Twas rubbed in on him each night But still when he looked in the mirror Those two hairs were ever in sight
But with a spirit undaunted He wandered out to fight Just like an old-time knight errant To win combat for the right
He battled for Red Nellie's honour And cleaned out a hold-up's nest He died with his six guns a-smokin' With only two hairs on his chest
