I ain't got no father, I ain't got no father, I ain't got no father, To buy the clothes I wear.
I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy, I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy, I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy And a long ways from home.
I ain't got no mother, I ain't got no mother, I ain't got no mother To mend the clothes I wear.
I ain't got no sister, I ain't got no sister, I ain't got no sister To go and play with me.
I ain't got no brother, I ain't got no brother, I ain't got no brother To drive the steers with me.
I ain't got no sweetheart, I ain't got no sweetheart, I ain't got no sweetheart To sit and talk with me.
I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy, I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy, I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy And a long ways from home.
