- C F G C
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
F Em G7 And she was a lady I say
C F G CBut she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
- F G C
And he stole her heart straight away
- C F G C
The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
F Em G7 Another love she never had
C F G CBut cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
- F G C
And they make the ladies so sad
- F C
Chorus: Sing me a melody
F C Sing me a blues
F C G CWalk through the bottomland without no shoes
- F C
The Brazos she's running scared
F C She heard the news
F C G CWalk through the bottomland without no shoes
C F G CThe New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
- F Em G7
And you know she tried to hold on
C F G C But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
F G CHe had to keep drifting along
C F G CShe never married and she never would
- F Em G7
And all of the people they'd say
C F G C The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
F G CTo follow a cowboy that way
Chorus- F C G C
The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
F Em G And in the morning he'd go
F C G CShe loved the darkness and hated the light
- D G
Along with that damn rodeo
- C F G C
The New Jersey lady the day that he died
F Em G7 She covered him over with clay
C F G CAnd feeling the wind in the night as she cried
- F G C
She heard the old cowboy say
- Chorus
- PLAY TOO ..
