Cowboy Song


This song has stuck with me ever since I first saw JVV. I was watching the movie tonight and I just had to look it up. The song was written by John Shanley for the movie and I think he did a wonderful. I found the lyrics below.

Ee he o he-o cowboy
Ee he o he-o oooo
Ee he o he-o cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Under the moon.

I was ridin’ my horse
by the Rio Grandee
and all o’ them coyotes singing
in a prairie symphony.

I was ridin’ my horse
down by the Rio Grandee
when I seen me a cowboy, cowboy, cowboy,
ridin’ toward me.

Ee he o he-o cowboy
Ee he o he-o oooo
Ee he o he-o cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Under the moon

He was twirling his guns
And he had a guitar
And we sang us up a sweet old
song about love
Under the stars

Ee he o he-o cowboy
Ee he o he-o oooo
Ee he o he-o cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Under the moon

Giddyup!

Whenever I watch this movie, that song gets stuck in my head for days! I think Hanks does a great job with it.

It has a very Hawaiian sound to it. Fits.
