Marty Robbins - The Dreamer (Under Western Skies Disc 4)
When I was a young man beginnin' my teens
How well I remember the lickin's I'd get cause I'd dream
My work never finished, barely begun
I couldn't get started till all of my dreamin' was done
I wouldn't shuck cotton', I wouldn't chop wood
And Pa would whip me and say that's for bein' no good
But I kept chasin' rainbows, finally I found
The great open range and the hills were my best dreamin' ground
When I left the home place our Mother did cry
She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye
My Pa told my Mother, your tears are in vain
Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name
So don't try to stop him, let him move on
'Cause he won't stop his driftin'
Till all of his dreamin' is gone
Last night in a campfire a face I did see
A vision of Mother, she seemed to be callin' to me
For seventeen years now, I've drifted alone
But I wanna see Mother, tomorrow I start driftin' home
The last hill I've climbed now, and what do I see
An old run down shack where the ranch used to be
Then I see a tombstone and then see one more
I drifted too long from the old ranch house door
There's nothin' more left now but driftin', it seems
But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get
'Cause I'd dream
Marty Robbins 'The Dreamer' (04:04)
Another wonderful song from the ever fertile pen of Marty Robbins. To be blessed with such a
beautiful voice and songwriting talent which was second to none, he truly was one of a kind. Not
only could he sing any kind of song, but he could also write them no matter what fancy took him at
the time. He truly was in a class of his own.

Marty composed and sang really wonderful song. I want to make the youngster who doesn't find the meaning of "Cowboy" in my country listen.
