Cowboys Never Cry, And Happy Songs Don't Sell (031)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Gentlemen don't swear,
Ladies don't kiss n' tell,
Cowboys never cry,
And happy songs don't sell.

Willie sings about
Apprehension n' fear,
Hard whiskey drinkin',
Lonesome heartache and tears.

Patsy went crazy,
Crazy for feelin' blue,
For feelin' lonely,
Crazy for lovin' you.

Gentlemen don't swear,
Ladies don't kiss n' tell,
Cowboys never cry,
And happy songs don't sell.

Bocephus parties
With all his rowdy friends,
And Ol' Hank's got a
Whirlpool just made for ten.

Johnny Cash got stuck
Out in Folsom Prison,
But that train kept a rollin'
On down to San Antone.

Gentlemen don't swear,
Ladies don't kiss n' tell,
Cowboys never cry,
And happy songs don't sell.

Waylon's good-hearted woman
Loved a good-timin' man.
She loved him in spite of
His ways she didn't understand.

Loretta was born
A coal miner's daughter.
In a lil' cabin on a hill
In Butcher Holler.

Gentlemen don't swear,
Ladies don't kiss n' tell,
Cowboys never cry,
And happy songs don't sell.
