Shoulda Been A Cowboy    (ER 1002)   Mike Sikorsky

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Circle left
I shoulda been a cowboy
I shoulda learned to rope and ride

Well now the men star right
And I'm a ridin' my pony on a cattle drive
Allemande left and weave
Stealin' the young girls hearts
Well swing her like Gene and Roy
Singin' those campfire songs
Oh, I shoulda been a cowboy

FIGURE



Well now those heads square thru 'n' get me four 'n' go
Dosado with that corner you go
You make a wave and the ladies trade, recycle in time
Veer to the left and ferris wheel, man, roll it in time
Double pass thru, track two, round 'n' go
Come on 'n' swing with the corner, promenade her you know
*Ah settle'n down would you marry me
If I asked you twice 'n' begged you pretty please

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*Well, he stole a kiss as he rode away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
*Ending up on the brink of danger
*Sleepin' out all night beneath the desert stars
