[Verse 1]
I ain't got no father
I ain’t got no father
I ain't got no father
To buy the clothes I wear

[Chorus]
I'm a poor, lonesome, cowboy
Poor, lonesome, cowboy
I’m a poor, lonesome, cowboy
A long way from home

[Verse 2]
I ain't got no mother
I ain't got no mother
I ain't got no mother
To mend the clothes I wear

[Chorus]
I'm a poor, lonesome, cowboy
Poor, lonesome, cowboy
Poor, lonesome, cowboy
And a long ways from home

[Verse 3]
I ain't got no brother
I ain't got no brother
I ain't got no brother
To drive the steers with me
[Chorus]
I’m a poor, lonesome, cowboy
Poor, lonesome, cowboy
Poor, lonesome, cowboy
And a long way from home
