The cattle are prowlin', the coyotes are howlin' Way out where the doggies bawl Where spurs are a jinglin', a cowboy is singin' This lonesome cattle call He rides in the sun till his day's work is done And he rounds up the cattle each fall Singin' his cattle call He's brown as a bear from ridin' the prairie And he sings with an old western drawl Singin' his cattle call
