The Last Cowboy Song

I can't remember not wondering what it was like to be a cowboy. (Yes, I recycled some pics to do this one!)Singer: Ed Bruce

[@josephreynolds3892]

My Great Grand Father was a cowboy, I used to love and sit with him and listen to his story's. He said he always had a six Gun on his hip. He was very good with a rope to. He always starched white shirts and Bib Overalls, and straw cowboy hat. God I miss that old man. But I will see him pretty soon, because I am going on 83.

[@alan-ev6ck]

God Bless You

[@andiplastic]

I have a photo of my father and his brothers. They were young on the farm central Texas. They had straw hats and wore overalls and no shirts. Bare feet! They looked like a bunch of Huck Finns!! Tough as nails. Survived WWII!!! Lived long lives.....

[@drakehonest2]

Hey how are you doing?

[@jeffhoward553]

I was raised by good old Carpenter, true craftsman, a man’s word and hand shake was good enough, to say what you mean, mean what you say, my first bank loan was done on a hand shake, boy those days are long gone, men was men

[@JanWoods-d3p]

I remember those days when it was like that, honest and people cared about each other. Yep long gone 😢

[@TheElectroFalcon]

The spirit of America survives in the south and the midwest, but only just.

Cowboys are still out there.You just can’t see them from the road.

[@claudiaheinowski2992]

YES, try going off the main highways, try Wyoming, Montanta, Texas, etc.

[@dewaynedawson1148]

The real COWBOYS ! are called BUCKAROOS , AIRBORNE . no quite

[@richardking6969]

From Steve Fromholz's song Man in the Big Hat: Now, the high-lines chase the highways, and the fences close the range And to see a working cowboy - that's a sight that's mighty strange." But a cowboy's life was lonely, and his lot was not the best But if it hadn't been for men like me, there wouldn't be no west

[@sarahdavid2646]

The last cowboy is not dead. 91-year-old Clyde McBride of Dunkin, Arizona, broke over 3000 horses in his lifetime. I am proud to say that he is a friend of mine.

[@terriecotham1567]

[@ricksautner6789]

My dad was indeed one of the last cowboys ...he lived it and loved it..he was 91 when he passed...now it's up to me..

[@bravo20vet12]

Balled my eyes out listening to this,thank you Dad

[@dotc8641]

What a great song.

[@williamrhea3535]

Have loved this song for decades, first heard it back in the early 80s. Good job.

[@ronhopson3499]

It's a shame today's young men aren't as tough and as loyal as the men of days gone by. My mother came from the Indian reservation in OK and my dad's family were sharecroppers in Tennessee, my dad fought with Gen. Patton in WWII, my goodness they were tough people. I'm proud to have their bloodline...

[@alexmason2659]

Same although I'm half Native they lived with our people and my father's family were Cattle Ranchers in Western Oklahoma

[@wickywach1803]

Well sir I may be a little late but only 20 , come from a broken home and cowboy to the core, and trust me theirs and your memory lives in untill I die no matter when that will be :)

[@justsayingwhatsonmymindd3804]

Ur probably thinking of millennials their are a bunch of week sensitive pussy but my generation gen z come from broken homes and hard times during the recession we know what it’s like to go out without a meal or heat in the winter like a quote I heard once hard times make hard men and sure things have changed just like through time but just letting u know theirs hope for better men in the future right know I went to trade school and work 60 hours a week with hard labor.

[@frederickwise5238]

Ron, Would you be any relation to the Hopsons of Erwin Tenn? After my son moved to Erwin, I became good friends with Ted. We were both born in 35, both worked in the Aerospace industry in the 60's. Had a lot in common, Further my GGrandfather (dads side) was a Seneca chief in central Oh. I ask the same question myself. What has happened to the youth of today.? No strength, np patriotism, no backbone, no integrity. Its a shjame.!!!!!!! added: My Grandaughter-in-law is from "the Chisum's" of Ok. Her Grampa lived out near Guymon. at one time.

[@strongwhiteman6497]

@Paul Spot on.

[@tjlonegreat38]

I was driving across Arizona on I-8 toward Gila Bend. I needed to hear this song. I looked out at the landscape and imagined the cowboys, strong in their solitude and addicted to their way of life. The lyrics "the old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now. The truck em' to market in 50 foot rigs. They blow by his marker, never slowing to realize, like livin' and dyin' is all that he did," they crush me. This song can bring tears to my eyes and give me the chills sometimes depending on my mood. I was never a cowgirl but have always felt such an affinity for the west and that way of life. When Willie comes in on harmony and solo, it is haunting to me, in the best of ways.

[@drakehonest2]

Hey how are you doing today?

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

September 2024.Who's here? I like it very much, it reminds me of the good old days. Such a great unforgettable son. Rest in peace Ed Bruce 🙏😥

[@detuck1]

This song reminds me of my son, Gary Joe Tuck, who was a true cowboy and passed on too early at age 48 just this last June. His dad was a cowboy, his granddad was and his great grand dad-all cowboys in New Mexico and Arizona. God bless them all.

[@Ween745]

May God Bless you, sweet girl. You've earned it.

[@davidbrush3523]

I am sorry to hear of your son's passing, there are not many like him left.

[@tomjohnson1708]

Diane Tuck I used to work with a Gary Joe on the steel gangs, always had a huge grin no matter how tough the day. When we got time we talked horses and he was going to swing by our ranch in Oregon to check out ours. He left a little rock on my trailer inscribed "2 first names", I wish I still had that rock.He died a few months later I heard. Good man missed by many, Sorry for your loss.

[@docs1forever737]

This song brings back some old memories I was fresh back from Vietnam and stationed at FT Carson Colorado Looking at a court martial and having my rank taken down to a private By the grace of the Almighty I was recruited for a Mounted Cavalry unit out there A guy there years older than me ( about 8) took me under his wing .He was a real cowboy. He had worked on the 6666 ranch in Texas. He taught e what I thought I knew. How to throw a smaller loop for brush roping , how to head and heal, mount and dismount a horse in a hurry and last how to work brush After my time was up in 1971, we parted ways with the understanding we would always stay in touch . That was not to be Due to an injury I lost track of him Years latter I was in a hospital and was in a room with an old gentleman .We got to talking and he had worked on the 6666 for 50 years. We would set as long as we could and listen to him tell stories This year I relocated my old friend from 1971, After 44 years he was working ranches and big spreads in New Mexico He finally gave it up last year at age 74 when a horse bucked him off and broke his arm . Sorry to ramble but enjoyed the song My Apology

[@fassstEddie]

+Docs1 forever I still ride at age 77. Have been thrown only two times. Once when I was 14 when I rode double on my friend's horse. Well, Frank (the horse) didn't like that so off I went. I landed on some plowed dirt and escaped any injury. And he was a *tall* Tennessee walker! At age 75 I was thrown on the trail by a horse that did not like his bit. Bucked about 5 seconds before I flew off. But like a good cowboy I held on to the reins. Again only bruises, nothing broken. So in about 74 years of riding, only two times I've flown off the saddle. I ride horses every weekend. Oh, I also ride motorcycles. I have 16 of 'em. Yes, sixteen! I like your story, btw. Chris Green is right. The end of the cowboy came when fences were built. I have a print from Remington showing two cowboys, one off his horse, opening a gate. Yep, the fence did 'em in. UPDATE: have 18 motorcycles now. yeeehaww!

[@garyharris1932]

+Docs1 forever As a somewhat genealogist facts, names, dates etc. are what we're looking for however the stories are the frosting on the cake. If you have some great stories don't just keep them in your head. Write them down and the names who are in these stories. Many families repeat family names so make sure the reader knows who you are talking about, time frame and location No one expects all the information I"m suggesting. Years from now your progenitors will thank you or your memory.

[@dbpw34l]

You ain't rambling Cowboy!! I could visit with you all day and into the night. I'm 85 and Cowboys were my heroes at birth and they still are!!!! ...dw

[@CatherineSTodd]

[@chrisnnh]

My buddy, Ed Bruce. Sings and Writes some great Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys songs. The first time I heard this song was in Ed’s family room on a small Song cassette player. Willie has been in the studio the day before to cut his track. Caught me completely by surprise. Sounds as good today as it did then.

[@salvageman1983]

My dad was born in 1914. He was born and raised on a farm near Lake City, Michigan. He saw the end of work horses and the beginning of the motorized age. He died in 1995. The stories he told us.......During the great depression he was forced to cut a sleigh load of firewood, by hand, with a crosscut buck saw. The team of horses would pull the sleigh to town, about 10 miles and he would sell it for $1.00.

[@jaynexpain]

Love this one. Always got bullied for not liking pop music and for not following the trends. Country music sums up my childhood with my grandfather whom I miss daily so country music is close to my heart. Yes I like a lot of other genres but country has a permanently reserved seat in my heart and it ain't going anywhere.

[@55StudebakerSpeedster]

Brenton, Congratulations on the Birth of your daughter! I, too, have a daughter and I was 41 when she was born. I have to say that I am a MUCH better father than I would have been at 21, or even 31. She is 18 now and I am very proud of her. Her mother and I are divorced, but she is a much better mother than wife. We never denigrate each other to the child. We never bickered in front of or within earshot of my girl. That's not about us, that's about my daughter! For the most part, have tried very hard not to put her in the middle. My ex is an adulterous wench, but for the most part, she is a good mother. I tell my daughter that I think her mom is a good mother, but I leave out the "adulterous wench" part. My daughter is very smart and sees much more than we sometimes give her credit Enjoy your child! Take her with you! Even if its to the auto parts store. They don't care where you go as long as you spend time with them. Read to her! They don't care what you read. I used to read motorcycle magazines to my daughter. Have fun with her! My daughter loved it when she was 2 or 3 when at any kind of gearhead gathering and I would say "What's Daddy's favorite color?" She'd say "Chrome!" and everybody would laugh! They are a blessing and I hope you find it as easy as I do to put her first! Good luck, brother!

[@davidbrush3523]

The man driving the model T ford at about the middle of the song was capt. Frank A. Hamer, the Texas ranger that put an end to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in the early 1930's.

theres a movie about this now

[@FreedomRapper]

Once upon a time and many moons ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a real, live, working cowboy in West Tennessee who had been in the number 7th ranking of an American rodeo circuit. In conversation he said it took a couple of hours each morning to get his 'racked with pain body' operational as he went about his cowboy duties. He also revealed his joy of communicating with nature and nature's creations as he spent months at a time out on the range. I regret that over the years I did not remain in touch with him as I truly enjoyed our conversations. I wrote the following poem about cowboys and I hope, if still living, the aforementioned cowboy and each of you will like this tribute to all cowboys and girls across America. Tales All Told Around the campfire, western sun’s setting glow Cowboys for hire, guns hung low Watching the cattle, beans in the pan Listening to the prattle, cows they brand As memory stirs the deeds they did Of boots and spurs and Billy the Kid Notorious outlaw, killer of men Sheriff Pat Garrett to bring him in As the night continues to fall Men of the Hole-in-the-Wall Dreaming out, beyond the plain Butch and Sundance, robbing a train Back in town, at the Corral of OK The Earp Brothers to have their day Wyatt and Virgil, guns spitting flame Men of legend, men of fame Vests of leather, stars of tin Horses tethered, toughest of men Tales told, battles fought Pans of gold, times of drought Stern men, all the names Bat Masterson, Jesse James Faces scarred, faces torn Bones jarred, saddle born In the saloon, a night of thrill Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Nothing compares to a barroom brawl Through the swinging doors, they crawl Beaten men with cuts of pain Full of whiskey, quite insane Daring each other out to fight Kill or be killed, shoot on sight On the dusty street, poised to draw Who will beat? Who will fall? Rustlers, cowpokes, sheriffs and all Good men, sad men, bad men, outlaw The Younger Brothers, Bob, Jim and Cole Pinkertons on their trail; trail getting cold Bill Chadwell, Charlie Pitts Pinkertons never call it quits Bullets flying, men dying Mammas weeping, widows crying Prison waiting, bars for life Woman alone, outlaw’s wife Around the campfire, western sun on the rise Cowboys stir; say their good-byes Cattle all branded, cattle all sold Vittles all eaten, tales all told © David Junah

[@thomaswaters4963]

Bravo!Nice piece of writing from one poet to another.

[@mikewilson7812]

The loss in these lyrics, and the losses each of you speak of are losses for each of us on a grand scale. It isn't merely some folks passing, it's a way of life lost. Folks didn't depend on gov't to care for them. They took care of themselves and each other. They had the guts and the courage to live life. If it was hard, well, hard times came, but they were dealt with, and they passed. My own father was one who could ride, hammer boards together that stayed that way, could bank a fire for morning coffee. Later in life, he could preach a convicting sermon, because he had lived hard, and was himself convinced of his message. Miss him, and my mother who loved, every single day.

[@3DogsTite]

Left home at 15. Went to work at Arapaho ranches near Coalmont Colorado stacking hay at $1 a stack and $10 a day. Rode bareback at the Walden 4th of July rodeo and it snowed. After that job played out I went to get another at a sawmill. When my mother found out about the sawmill job she said I could come back home by Greyhound or by Sheriff, my choice. Went back home, finished high school, left for Viet Nam, came back all messed up and worked ranches and feedlots but couldn’t support my drinking habit. My grandad was on one of the last cattle drives from Texas and sure enough he told me about stampede at night and lightning was all he had for lights that night. Miss him.

Getting up at 4AM. Sticking my hand into a mare to save a little stud colt, and perhaps her as well. Sleeping on a bale of hay. Falling on frozen mud, then helping that gelding get over his injury before calling the vet, oh, then I went to the people doctor. Got bucked in the rodeo, kicked by some steers, grew up looking at stars in my head. Chopping ice for the critters until the axe handle broke. Sleeping in the cold rain. Broke in my first Justins wet from the creek. Got tangled in a backlash of barbed wire before I was twenty. Lost some good pals. I am just 68. The game is not over. BLM ain't been there!

To be a true cattleman you had to be a cowboy first. I'm still in the business, but I've still got my old Semco saddle and I'll use when the job requires me to.

[@lastlivingoldcowboy9082]

Thank you for this one, ol' son.
