Restless cattle, stop your millin' round

It's time to go to sleep

While I tell you bout some secrets

This poor cowboy has to keep

You won't understand, but still I'd like

To get it off my chest

Restless cattle, now it's time to get some rest.

If I show you what I carry

Will you promise not to laugh?

If another tear drop falls and stains

Her faded photograph

Only you know how I feel inside

Only you know that I weep

Restless cattle, settle down, it's time to sleep.

What's this, you've stopped your millin'

Can it be you understand

That a cowboy cries like any other man?

Guess my story must have touched you cause You're all standin' around

Restless cattle, now it's time for beddin' down.

Guess my story must have touched you cause

You're all standin' around

Restless cattle, now it's time for beddin' down.
