Lavender Cowboy
He was only a lavender cowboy,
The hairs on his chest were two,
But he wished to follow the heroes
And fight like the he-men do.
But he was inwardly troubled
By a dream that gave him no rest,
That he'd go with his heroes in action
With only two hairs on his chest.
First he tried many a hair tonic.
'Twas rubbed in on him each night.
But still when he looked in the mirror
Those two hairs were ever in sight.
But with a spirit undaunted
He wandered out to fight,
Just like an old-time knight errant
To win combat for the right.
He battled for Red Nellie's honor
And cleaned out a holdup's nest
He died with his six guns a-smoking
With only two hairs on his chest.
Vaquero Lavanda
Era solo un vaquero lavanda,
Con dos pelos en su pecho,
Pero deseaba seguir a los héroes
Y pelear como los hombres de verdad.
Pero estaba interiormente preocupado
Por un sueño que no le daba descanso,
Que iría con sus héroes a la acción
Con solo dos pelos en su pecho.
Primero probó muchos tónicos capilares,
Se los frotaba cada noche.
Pero aún cuando se miraba en el espejo
Esos dos pelos siempre estaban a la vista.
Pero con un espíritu indomable
Salió a luchar,
Como un caballero andante de antaño
Para ganar la batalla por la justicia.
Luchó por el honor de Red Nellie
Y limpió un nido de bandidos,
Murió con sus seis pistolas humeantes
Con solo dos pelos en su pecho.
