When The Cactus Is In Bloom — текст песни (Jimmie Rodgers)

The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled
out on the Great Divide,
I never done no wrong, just singing a song,
as down the trail I ride.
Rattle snacks rattle at the prairie dogs,
you hear that mournful tune.
It`s roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom.
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell,
they call out ev`ry man,
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can;
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I`m gazing at the moon,
It`s roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom.
We don`t have cold weather,
it never snows or rains.
That is where the sunshine`s best,
out on the western plains.
Some of the boys have gone away,
but they will be back soon.
It`s roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom.
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell,
they call out ev`ry man,
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can;
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I`m gazing at the moon,
It`s roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom.
